Merzlikins stopped 15 of 17 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Merzlikins was beaten late in the first period by Vince Dunn and midway through the second by Kaapo Kakko, but he cruised the rest of the way and didn't have a lot of work overall. The 31-year-old Merzlikins made his first appearance since March 12 and has won two of his last three starts. He remains the No. 2 option behind Jet Greaves, but Merzlikins has allowed only two in each of his last three appearances and could offer solid value down the stretch.
