Elvis Merzlikins turned aside 27 of 28 shots in Saturday’s 5-1 victory over Chicago.
Fantasy Impact:
Merzlikins delivered a strong performance, allowing just one goal while backstopping Columbus to a convincing win. The 30-year-old has now surpassed the 20-win mark for the season, improving to 20-14-4 with a 2.94 GAA and a .897 save percentage across 38 appearances. After winning nine of 11 games before the 4 Nations Face-Off break, this effort suggests he could be settling back in. While his numbers remain average, Merzlikins carries value in fantasy formats where volume and wins are prioritized. His next start is expected to come Tuesday against the Stars.
