3 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will record his eighth start of the season on Monday against Detroit. This will be the seventh home start for the Latvian, and he's so far crushed it at the Nationwide Arena with a 5-1-0 record, allowing only 2.16 goals per game with a .936 save percentage. Merzlikins' overall record for the season stands at 5-2-0 with a 2.42 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage. He's looked rock-solid in front of the Blue Jackets faithful and Columbus also boasts a strong home record in the matchup, having won five of the last six meetings.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
