This season, he is outpacing those marks with a 4-1-0 record, 2.97 GAA and a .915 save percentage. He next faces an Islanders team held to three goals or fewer in six straight games this year.

Steady in win Merzlikins stopped 33 of 36 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact Merzlikins has won three straight starts. He was in control for this one, with the help of a big performance from the Blue Jackets' third line, though the Maple Leafs got a couple of goals back late in the game. Merzlikins improved to 4-1-0 with a 2.97 GAA and a .915 save percentage over five outings this season. He's alternated starts with Jet Greaves, and if that pattern holds, Greaves would play at home Saturday versus the Blues while Merzlikins would draw a road start Sunday against the Islanders.

Nabs third win in shootout Merzlikins made 26 saves in regulation and overtime and denied one of three shootout attempts in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.
Impact The 31-year-old netminder came up with some big stops but also got extremely lucky, as on three different occasions a puck came within a whisker of crossing the goal line behind Merzlikins before being knocked aside. The timeshare between Jet Greaves and Merzlikins is working out well for both goalies so far, and through four starts Elvis has a 3-1-0 record, 2.96 GAA and .914 save percentage.

Collects win over Stars Merzlikins stopped 22 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.
Impact Merzlikins has now won two of his three starts this season. The Blue Jackets' defense was a little sturdier in this game after allowing him to see 87 shots over his first two outings. He's turned aside 102 of 110 shots through three games, good for a .927 save percentage. Merzlikins and Jet Greaves have alternated starts, and while the results haven't been consistent yet, it seems to be working well for both goalies. If that pattern continues, Greaves would get a home game Friday versus the Capitals before Merzlikins would take the net Saturday in Pittsburgh.

Faces a lot of rubber in loss Merzlikins made 32 saves in a 4-1 loss to Colorado on Thursday.
Impact He allowed three goals. Merzlikins and Jet Greaves are splitting starts right now, and both men have great save percentages (.920 for Elvis; .932 for Jet). Wins and GAA will be tough categories with Merzlikins, so use him in matchups as they present themselves.
OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Tending twine against Colorado Merzlikins will defend the home crease during Thursday's game against the Avalanche, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact Merzlikins and Jet Greaves have alternated starts in net for the Blue Jackets early in the 2025-26 campaign, and that trend will continue Thursday. Merzlikins made his season debut against the Wild on Saturday, allowing four goals on 52 shots (.923 save percentage) en route to the 7-4 victory.
OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Beaten four times Merzlikins allowed four goals on 52 shots faced in Saturday's 7-4 win over Minnesota.
Impact Merzlikins didn't play in the 2-1 loss to Nashville, and while he earned the win in this high-scoring matchup, allowing four goals isn't going to do a lot of good in fantasy. It remains to be seen whether Merzlikins or Jet Greaves will get the nod when the Blue Jackets take on the Devils on Monday at home.

Set to start Saturday Merzlikins is expected to start on the road against Columbus on Saturday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Impact Merzlikins is making his first start of the campaign after Jet Greaves saved 29 of 31 shots in a 2-1 loss to Nashville. Although Merzlikins didn't start in the opener, he still has an opportunity to claim the No. 1 gig, but Merzlikins will probably need to do better than he did in 2024-25 in order to secure the job. The 31-year-old posted a 26-21-5 record, 3.18 GAA and .892 save percentage in 53 outings with Columbus last year.
