News: 15 hours agoMerilainen stopped 14 of 16 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers. Philadelphia's third goal was an empty-netter.
Spin: Merilainen surrendered an early goal to Michael Bunting before Travis Konecny doubled Philadelphia's lead on the power play in the second period. The young netminder once again received limited offensive support as Vancouver suffered its sixth consecutive regulation defeat. Merilainen has lost five of them, posting a 3.50 GAA and .864 save percentage over that span, so even if he remains the Canucks' No. 1 goaltender, the individual and collective struggles limit his fantasy appeal considerably.
