The Blue Jackets sign goaltender Elvis Merzlikins to an extension

Columbus Blue Jackets: The Blue Jackets have signed goaltender Elvis Merzlikins to a two-year contract extension that runs through 2021-22.

The 26-year old posted a 13-9-8 record with a 2.35 GAA and .923 SV percentage. He had five shutouts.

“We’ve believed for several years that Elvis Merzlikins was the best goaltender outside the NHL while he was playing in Switzerland and this year he has shown that he has the ability and drive to be a very good goaltender in this league,” said Kekalainen.
