Korpisalo will start Monday vs. the Senators.

Korpisalo allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Red Wings last Thursday. Elvis Merzlikins gave him a breather on Saturday but Korpisalo is set to start for the eighth time in 10 games on Monday. After back-to-back terrible outings to end October, Korpisalo has settled in in November, going 4-3-0 with a 2.58 GAA and .913 SV% in seven starts. Tonight he faces a Senators team that has won five of their last six while scoring 3.00 goals per game.

Korpisalo allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Blue Jackets loss in Colorado last Saturday. Elvis Merzlikins gave him the night off in Montreal but they will turn back to their “No.1” guy on Friday. He is 3-5-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .889 SV% in his first nine home starts, so there’s not a lot to like about starting him vs. the Blues.
