Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins: Hotter than the sun

Merzlikins made 41 saves in a 5-0 win over the Devils on Saturday.

Wow -- that's his third shutout in four games. Merzlikins is white hot. He is 4-0-0, with a 0.50 GAA and a .985 save percentage in those four games. And he's 8-2-0 with three shutouts, a 1.51 GAA and .955 save percentage in his past 10 starts since replacing the injured Joonas Korpisalo. Saturday, he stopped 21 pucks in the first period alone and dominated the Devils, who carried the play most of the night. It may be hard for Korpisalo to win the starter's role back once he's healthy.
