Merzlikins will get the starting nod for Monday's home matchup with Boston, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.
Merzlikins will make his sixth consecutive start for the Jackets despite having given up three or more goals in each of his last five outings. In fact, the netminder hasn't secured a win in his previous seven appearances. With a back-to-back on the schedule, Jean-Francois Berube figures to get the start against the Flyers on Tuesday, though Merzlikins did take both ends of the team's previous back-to-back.
