Merzlikins Earns First Shutout of NHL Season
Elvis Merzlikins secured his first shutout of the NHL season, making 28 saves as the Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the New York Islanders 2-0. Damon Severson broke a scoreless tie in the third period with a goal that ricocheted off an Islanders defenseman, and Justin Danforth added an empty-net goal. This victory marks the Blue Jackets' first consecutive wins this season, while the Islanders continue to struggle, having been shut out four times in ten games. Merzlikins had previously achieved a near-shutout with 31 saves against the Edmonton Oilers in a 6-1 win. The game against the Islanders was Merzlikins' first consecutive start this season, highlighting his improving form. Both teams will play again on Friday, with the Islanders facing Buffalo and the Blue Jackets hosting Winnipeg.
