Korpisalo allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Blue Jackets 3-2 overtime win over the Blues last Friday. Korpisalo has elevated his game in November, going 2-3-0 while posting a 2.40 GAA and .919 SV%--a huge improvement on his 3.37 GAA and .886 SV% in 10 October starts. Tonight he faces a Montreal team that has gone 4-0-2 in their last six but just lost two of their top-9 forwards over the weekend.
Rask allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Bruins win in Toronto last Friday. The win snapped an ugly three-game losing streak for Rask, who is now 3-2-0 with a 2.82 GAA and .910 SV%. In his first start against the Devils, Rask stopped all 31 shots that he faced in a 3-0 shutout win.
The Bruins said that Bergeron's injury is minor but they are holding him out to make sure it doesn't linger. Bergeron will travel to New Jersey for Tuesday's game but whether or not he plays remains unclear.
Bergeron is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said they don't want the injury to linger so they'll take him out immediately. Paul Carey was called up from Providence (AHL) and will replace Bergeron in the lineup.
Zadorov ended up only missing three games with a fractured jaw that he suffered just over a week ago. Zadorov will likely replace Kevin Connauton on Colorado's third pair.
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.
Rask surrendered four goals on 29 shots in the Bruins overtime loss to the Panthers on Tuesday. The Bruins blew a 4-0 lead in the third period and extended Rask’s losing streak to three games. During the skid, Rask has allowed a combined 12 goals on 91 shots (.868 SV%). The 32-year-old stopped 28 of 30 shots in a 4-2 win in his first start vs. the Maple Leafs.
Rask surrendered three goals on 31 shots in a surprising loss in Detroit last Friday. After losing just once in his first eight starts, Rask has now lost two in a row while allowing a combined eight goals on 62 shots (.871 SV%). He'll look to get back on track against a Panthers team that is 5-3-3 while averaging 3.55 goals per game on the road.
Korpisalo allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Blue Jackets win in Arizona on Thursday. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for Korpisalo, who is now 3-1-0 with a 3.25 GAA and .907 SV% on the road this season. Heading to Colorado isn't as scary without Mikko Rantanen or Gabriel Landeskog, but the Ads are still 5-2-1 with 3.88 goals per game in Colorado this season.

Zadorov took a puck off of the face on Thursday and broke his jaw. The towering defenseman has undergone surgery and will miss at least a couple of weeks, so expect Mark Barberio to draw into the lineup on Saturday.
Zadorov is believed to have suffered a broken jaw after being hit by a puck in Thursday's win. Mark Barberio is expected to draw in for him on Saturday and a seventh defenseman will likely be recalled from the AHL at some point.
Rask allowed five goals on 31 shots in the Bruins loss in Montreal on Tuesday. If there is a team you'd expect him to struggle against, it's Montreal, but a matchup vs. the Red Wings is one you'd expect him to thrive in. He is 2-1-0 with a .904 SV% on the road this season but the Red Wings are the worst team in hockey right now (4-12-1) and rank last in goal-scoring (2.06 GF/gm).
Korpisalo allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Blue Jackets' loss to Vegas on Tuesday. Korpisalo has dropped four straight games while posting an ugly 4.16 GAA and .873 SV% and draws a tough matchup in Arizona on Thursday. The Coyotes are in the middle of the pack in goal-scoring but don't give the Blue Jackets a great chance at winning tonight's game.
Korpisalo allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Blue Jackets' 3-0 loss to the Flames on Saturday. Korpisalo has now dropped three straight while giving up a combined 12 goals on just 85 shots (.859 SV%). He carries a .885 home SV% into Tuesday's meeting with a Golden Knights team that is 4-2-0 while averaging 3.00 goals per game on the road this season.
Cehlarik dressed in two of the last three games for Boston but Brett Ritchie is expected back on Monday, so Cehlarik heads back to the AHL. The 24-year-old will provide a massive boost to Providence, as he currently leads the team with 10 points (6G / 4A) despite only playing in seven of 13 games.
Rask allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Bruins win over the Senators on Saturday. Jaroslav Halak started last night, so Rask will get the nod in Montreal tonight. Rask has won four in a row while posting a 1.25 GAA, .952 SV% and one shutout so he's obviously a good option, but has historically had a difficult time with the Habs--however, he was 1-1-1 with a 2.38 GAA and .909 SV% against them a year ago.
Korpisalo was pulled after allowing four goals on 12 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Oilers on Wednesday. With Elvis Merzlikins starting last night, head coach John Tortorella will tab Korpisalo for tonight's game vs. the Flames. Calgary has lost three of five and rank 21st in the NHL in offence (2.73 GF/gm) though 15 games.
