Merzlikins will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home matchup against the Panthers, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Merzlikins will make his second appearance of the season -- he stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Wild. The 30-year-old will face a Panthers squad that has scored just over three goals per game (3.25) through four regular-season contests. Merzlikins will look to find the form he had in his first NHL campaign -- his .923 save percentage and 2.35 GAA from that season are both career-bests.
