After his season with the Columbus Blue Jackets has come to an end, Elvis Merzlikins is not planning on taking any more vacation: "For me already being at home during quarantine was a kind of vacation," he says to RSI and adds: "I was thinking of practicing with Lugano in October, but I still need to talk to Vicky Mantegazza."
