Leevi Merilainen News: Regaining confidence in Belleville

Merilainen posted a 40-save shutout in AHL Belleville's 1-0 win over Springfield on Saturday.

Merilainen improved to 4-1-0 this season in the AHL, with wins in each of the last two games since he returned to Belleville. This was his first shutout of the season, and he's allowed just 13 goals on 166 shots for a .927 save percentage with Belleville. That said, his chances to return to the NHL don't look great at this time, as the Senators are carrying three goalies and have Linus Ullmark (personal) on the non-roster list.
