Merilainen will get the start against the Mammoth on Sunday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Merilainen is back in the NHL for a second stint after briefly being sent down. The 23-year-old earned his way back up after a strong AHL start and now will have another chance to make a mark in an NHL crease. At the NHL level, he is 1-1-0 with a 4.58 GAA and an .833 save percentage. He faces a tough task in trying to slow down a Mammoth team that's averaging 3.27 goals per game this season.
