Leevi Meriläinen Joins Canucks Organization Following Waiver Claim

Goaltender Leevi Meriläinen was claimed on waivers by the Vancouver Canucks directly from the Ottawa Senators on September 25 during training camp. Meriläinen previously shined as an emergency starter for Ottawa, posting an 8-3-1 record with a 1.99 GAA and .925 save percentage two seasons ago. However, he struggled last season with an 8-10-1 record and 3.51 GAA in 20 games before his roster status shifted.
