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 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, Korpisalo to get back between the pipes tonight. He has posted a 3.65 GAA and .886 SV% in five games this season.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Korpisalo made 30 saves on 32 shot attempts in the Blue Jackets win over Philadelphia on Saturday. It was his first win of his NHL career and it was done in impressive fashion. He has posted a 2.94 GAA and .909 SV% in three starts and tonight he will face a Penguins team that will be without Sidney Crosby and that has lost five in a row while averaging just 1.20 goals per game.
Korpisalo allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Blue Jackets loss in Dallas on Tuesday. He has allowed a combined six goals on 56 shots (.893 SV%) to start his NHL career. With Curtis McElhinney losing on Thursday, the Blue Jackets will go back to Korpisalo tonight vs. Philadelphia. Philly comes in have won three of four.
Korpisalo will make his NHL debut tonight vs. the Lightning. The 21-year-old was recalled after Sergei Bobrovsky was injured and after sitting two games as the backup, he will get in tonight. Korpisalo went 5-4-2 with a 2.12 GAA and .928 SV% in 11 games with Lake Erie (AHL) before being called up.
Korpisalo, 21, was the Blue Jackets third round pick (62nd overall) in 2012. Korpisalo has gone 5-4-2 with a 2.12 GAA and .928 SV% in 11 games with Lake Erie and has been recalled because Sergei Bobrovsky was injured in Tuesday’s loss to the Kings. His recall suggests that Bobrovsky won’t be available for Thursday’s game, in which case Korpisalo will likely dress as Curtis McElhinney’s backup.
Lindholm missed Saturday’s game with a minor upper-body injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Flames. Lindholm has enjoyed a solid start to the year, having posting two goals, four assists and 43 shots on goal in 20 games.
Lindholm missed Saturday’s game in Tampa Bay, but his availability for Monday’s practice means there is a chance that he plays Tuesday vs. the Flames. Monitor during Tuesday’s morning skate.
