Elvis Merzlikins said a Stars fan taunted him regarding the death of friend Matiss Kivlenieks

Merzlikins addressed the "fan" after the game and explained how he was able to convert that enthusiasm into a win for his side.

Check it out:

"I strongly believe... I was expecting a shutout because I believe in karma. There are some stupid people in this world. It was really bad what happened in the tunnel when I was walking out. There was a fan from Dallas who (provoked) me about Matiss. After the first period, the three posts that I got, I really firmly believed in karma. I was that Matiss was really there."

"No. Stupid people don't come into my head. I didn't get upset. I just realize how stupid people are. This is all. I don't care what he said."
