Elvis Merzlikins Stops 21 Shots in Loss, Gives Up Late Game-Winner

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins stopped 21 of 25 shots faced against Vancouver in a recent loss. Merzlikins gave up a 'soft goal' with just under six minutes left, which ultimately proved to be the game-winner, a play he will undoubtedly want back. Despite the loss, he faced zero shots during a Canucks power play in the first period and was well-protected during another penalty kill in the second, limiting Vancouver's good looks. The Blue Jackets are now 0-3 on their current five-game road trip.
