He has provided a 3-7-1 record this season with a 3.62 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 12 games played. The Bruins rank 15th in the league with 3.20 goals per contest this campaign.

Impact Merzlikins missed Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Buffalo after leaving Friday's 6-5 OT win over Toronto after the first period. It appears as though he will be available for Tuesday's home matchup against the Bruins. Daniil Tarasov (illness) didn't practice Monday, so Spencer Martin could be Columbus' other option to start against Boston.

Adam Fantilli - Wraps up big December Fantilli scored his 11th goal of the season in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
Impact The rookie jumped out of the box after a minor penalty to join Justin Danforth on the rush, and Fantilli powered through an attempted stick check to beat Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen just inside the far post. Fantilli has broken out for seven goals and 13 points through 14 games in December, and while he still isn't seeing time on the Blue Jackets' first power-play unit, the 19-year-old is making an impact at even strength on a line with Johnny Gaudreau.

Daniil Tarasov - Busy in OT loss Tarasov turned aside 39 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
Impact The Blue Jackets were out-shot 42-20 and only came away with a point in the standings thanks to Tarasov, who made his most saves in a game since a 5-3 win over the Panthers in November 2022 during which he faced 50 shots. The 24-year-old netminder has started four of the last seven games, going 1-2-1 with a shaky 4.02 GAA and .877 save percentage, but Columbus appears intent on giving him steady work in a de facto timeshare with Elvis Merzlikins (illness).
