Merlikins stopped 22 of 26 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Capitals on Saturday.
Merzlikins coughed up three goals in the second period before allowing the game-winning goal in the third. The Latvian goaltender has allowed at least three goals in each of his last five appearances while failing to pick up a win over that span. He drops to 3-6-3 with a 3.31 GAA and an .897 save percentage overall. Merzlikins will likely serve as the backup to Spencer Martin on Sunday against Philadelphia in the second half of a back-to-back.
