Merzlikins will start between the pipes in Tuesday's road matchup with Nashville, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.
Merzlikins has been razor sharp recently, picking up back-to-back wins over the Jets and the Canucks while posting a highly impressive 1.00 GAA and .974 save percentage. The 27-year-old Latvian netminder will try to extend his winning streak to three games in a road matchup with a Predators team that's averaging 2.60 goals per game at home this year, 24th in the NHL.
