NHL Goalie Pummeling Opponent Inside Net Is Funniest Thing You'll See Today Elvis Merzlikins got into a scrum with Tom Wilson at the worst possible time.
DECEMBER 22, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Yegor Chinakhov - Point streak at six games Chinakhov scored his ninth goal of the season in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals.
Impact The 22-year-old earned Columbus a point by tying the score midway through the third period, as he wired the puck past Charlie Lindgren on the blocker side from the slot. Chinakhov has found the scoresheet in six straight games, erupting for six goals and 10 points over that stretch, and the 2020 first-round pick has already set new career highs on the season in goals and points (15) in only 23 contests.

Elvis Merzlikins - Own worst enemy Thursday Merzlikins turned aside 29 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals.
Impact The 29-year-old netminder played well overall, but Tom Wilson finally got under his skin in OT and Merzlikins took a roughing penalty after the Washington pest had crashed the crease one time too many. Alex Ovechkin then scored on the ensuing power play. Merzlikins has yet to take a regulation loss in December, going 2-0-2 in four starts with a .914 save percentage, but Columbus' generous defense has left him with a 3.39 GAA over that stretch due to the volume of shots he's faced.
