Unexpected Shuffle: Ottawa Senators’ Bold Move Sends Merilainen Down, Sparks Questions with Sogaard Call-Up!
Merilainen started for the B-Sens on Sunday afternoon and allowed 5 goals on 40 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Syracuse Crunch. They may also let him start again in Laval on Wednesday, or in one of the two games against Toronto on Saturday and Sunday, before bringing him back.
As for Søgaard, he recently cleared waivers after camp, so he’s waiver-exempt for a couple of more weeks. In the meantime, the Sens just need him for practice and to wear the ball cap on the bench in Ottawa. Based on his two games so far in the AHL, his current .864 save percentage isn’t exactly a statistic that demanded an immediate call-up to the NHL.
