Merilainen to Start Wednesday vs. Mammoth After Rough Outing

Ottawa Senators goalie Leevi Merilainen is slated to start Wednesday's road game against the Mammoth. This comes after he was pulled from his last outing Monday versus the Red Wings, having allowed three goals on just nine shots. Merilainen's recent form includes a 2-2-0 record with 14 goals allowed on 101 shots over his last five starts. Wednesday's game is the first of a back-to-back, with his status for Thursday's game in Colorado currently uncertain.
