Leevi Merilainen News: Fades late in St. Louis

Merilainen made 27 saves in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

Ottawa took a 2-1 lead into the third period, but Merilainen couldn't make it stick as a Jordan Kyrou tally early in the final frame launched the home side toward a victory. Merilainen has lost two straight starts on the heels of a three-start win streak, leveling his record at 3-3-0 on the season with a 3.40 GAA and an .874 save percentage.
