News: 1 day agoMerilainen stopped 24 of 27 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Spin: Merilainen is 2-5-1 with a 3.31 GAA and .897 save percentage in nine starts (11 appearances). Those numbers aren't as bad as they look since the NHL average for save percentage is .891. Merilainen is typically hung out to dry most nights, but he hangs in there and gives the Canucks a chance. Plus, his 5.45 GSAx is 16th in the NHL. He's making the most of this opportunity, but it's still difficult to trust Vancouver netminders this season.
