Merzlikins will defend the road net against the Islanders on Monday, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Merzlikins is expected to start on the road against Pittsburgh on Friday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
The Latvian is a late bloomer who is growing into an NHL starter capable of starting 55-65 games in a season, after several successful seasons in Switzerland. He is a very athletic goalkeeper who never gives up on a play and continues to adapt to the smaller ice surfaces in North America (and the tendencies of NHL shooters). He is an emotional player, and that sometimes gets him in trouble, but is becoming the kind of netminder teams can build around.
Long Range Potential: Quality, foundational goaltender.
