Merilainen was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Sunday.
Scouting Report
Has the ability to make spectacular saves, but consistency is also needed in order for him to maximize his upside at the National Hockey League level. He definitely battles to make every save, even when out of position. Could stand to add more bulk and get physically stronger to maximize output at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Talented goaltender with upside.
