Appears in relief Korpisalo (lower body) made 12 saves in relief Saturday in a 5-2 loss to Florida.
Impact He allowed one goal. The Blue Jackets have not been playing well lately, so their netminders are a tough play. This was Korpisalo's first action since an overtime loss to Carolina on March 25. Prior to that, he was 1-3-1 in five starts since March 6. Wait until the Jackets stabilize its game before activating him.

Yanked after two periods Merzlikins was pulled after two periods Saturday after making 21 saves against the Panthers. He left the game with the score 3-0 and took the loss.
Impact The Panthers eventually won 5-2. Merzlikins allowed those three goals in a 4:50 span early in the second. He was replaced by Joonas Korpisalo. Elvis is 3-4-1 in his last eight starts dating back to March 11, but the wins came against the Bolts, Canes and Stars. Glimpses of great, coupled with some tough luck and a struggling team, and that makes Merzlikins an unwise activation.

Will sit as healthy scratch Roslovic will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's game versus the Panthers, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Impact Roslovic is in coach John Tortorella's doghouse, and he'll have to watch Saturday's matchup with Florida from the press box as a result. The 24-year-old forward will, however, almost certainly return to the lineup for Sunday's rematch with the Panthers.

Gets starting nod Merzlikins will patrol the crease during Saturday's road matchup with the Panthers, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Impact Merzlikins was decent in his last start Thursday against Tampa Bay, turning aside 31 of 34 shots, but he ultimately suffered his eighth loss of the season due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. The 26-year-old netminder will try to get back in the win column in a tough road matchup with a red-hot Panthers team that's won four straight contests.

Could this work? Maybe Blue Jackets' slumping Patrik Laine and Max Domi only needed each other Here's the wild thing: the Eric Robinson - Domi - Laine trio was the best line on the ice for either the Blue Jackets or the Lightning.

Deserved better fate Merzlikins made 31 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.
Impact The Blue Jackets were up 2-1 until late in the third when the Bolts notched two just 66 seconds apart. The second goal -- awarded to Brayden Point -- was a centering pass that ricocheted off defender David Savard's skate. Merzlikins had no chance and deserved a better fate. He's 1-3 in his last four starts, but again, his record doesn't speak to his play. He's only allowed nine goals in those four games and he has a .932 save percentage in that span. There's plenty of talk about the Jackets weighing trade offers on one of their goalies, but we can't imagine they'd move Merzlikins. He doesn't need to be protected in the expansion draft and that makes him extremely valuable in Columbus.

Snaps six-game point drought Domi delivered two assists in a 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Impact The points snapped a six-game drought. Domi has been a disappointment in Ohio -- there's no other way to describe it. He has just 14 points (five goals, nine helpers) in 38 games after a disappointing 2019-20 campaign (17 goals, 44 points in 71 games). This after a 72-point effort the year before. Domi seems to be struggling under John Tortorella, but deserves a better fate than the third line. As long as he's there, his fantasy value remains low.
