Korpisalo will start again on Tuesday.

Korpisalo allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Canadiens last night. He will start again tonight in Montreal—Korpisalo has won three of his last four starts while posting a 1.78 GAA and .948 SV%. It’s risky starting him on back-to-back months, but the Canadiens have been one of the worst teams in the NHL for the last two months.

Korpisalo starts on Saturday vs. the Avalanche.

Korpisalo turned aside 41 of 42 shots in the Blue Jackets 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Wednesday. What a tremendous performance from the 21-year-old. Despite Sergei Bobrovsky being activated from IR, it looks like Korpisalo will get another shot in goal with the Avalanche in town. Colorado comes into town having won four of their last six.

Korpisalo starts Wednesday in Toronto.

Korpisalo allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday. Anton Forsberg started last night, so Korpisalo will start tonight in Toronto. Korpisalo has gone 1-4-1 with a 3.69 GAA and a .882 SV% on the season and should be avoided for better options tonight.

Korpisalo will likely start on Saturday vs. the Hurricanes.

Korpisalo hasn’t started since December 26th, when he allowed four goals on 18 shots in a loss in Tampa Bay. With Anton Forsberg starting last night and losing, look for Korpisalo to get back between the pipes tonight. He has posted a 3.65 GAA and .886 SV% in five games this season.

The Bruins have recalled David Pastrnak from Providence (AHL).

Pastrnak is expected to be in the lineup on Friday for the first time October 31st. Pastrnak was in practice on Thursday and skated on the top line with Patrice Bergeron and Loui Ericsson. Pastrnak has two goals and two assists (four points) in 10 games this season.

The Bruins have assigned David Pastrnak to Providence (AHL).

Pastrnak has not played for the Bruins since October 31st. He was sidelined by a foot injury for an extended period of time and just returned from a loan to the Czech Republic at the World Junior Championships, where he had four points in four games. He suffered a finger injury during the tournament, so maybe the Bruins just want to get him back up to speed in the North American game before bringing him back to the big club.

The Blue Jackets have recalled Joonas Korpisalo from Lake Erie (AHL).

Korpisalo was originally sent down because Sergei Bobrovsky was expected to return to the crease, but Bobrovsky suffered a setback and is back on IR. Then, Curtis McElhinney landed on IR, so back comes Korpisalo, who will join Anton Forsberg as the Blue Jackets’ goalies for the foreseeable future. Korpisalo is 1-4-0 with a 3.65 GAA and .886 SV% in five starts.
