On the other hand, Merzlikin is the 12th weakest in the number of shots saved with 87.9%. Also in this indicator, Pickard is the worst, having saved 85.1%.

Jett Greaves, who has relatively little NHL experience, has outplayed Merzlikin this season. The 24-year-old Canadian has saved 90.5% of shots and allowed 2.75 goals in 20 games.

If Merzlikin ends up in the farm club, the 29-year-old Russian goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov will be called up to the NHL in his place, who has played in 14 AHL matches for the Cleveland “Monsters” this season, allowed an average of 2.52 goals and saved 90.1% of shots.

After eight seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), Fedotov joined the NHL club Philadelphia “Flyers” last year, who traded him to the “Blue Jackets” in September of this year.

Until now, in his career, Fedotov has participated in 29 NHL matches, allowed an average of 3.29 goals and saved 87.4%.
