Elvis Merzlikins News: Exits ice first Wednesday
Merzlikins was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, indicating he'll guard the cage at home versus the Flyers.
Marzlikins had his scheduled start for Monday's home game against the Kings postponed due to severe winter weather. However, he will get a chance in Wednesday's matchup to continue his recent success. He has won two of his last three starts while stopping 64 of 70 shots. With a road back-to-back versus Chicago and St. Louis on Friday and Saturday, respectively, Merzlikins figures to split those two contests with Jet Greaves.
