Merzlikins will start in Saturday's home clash against the Kraken, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
Merzlikins will get his chance to bounce back after falling in overtime during his last appearance March 12. Overall, the 31-year-old netminder has a 13-9-3 record, a 3.40 GAA and an .885 save percentage across 27 appearances this season. The Kraken have lost each of their last two games. With a red-hot Blue Jackets' lineup in front of him, Merzlikins holds solid fantasy value for Saturday's start.
