Goalie Start
Korpisalo led the Blue Jackets onto the ice for warmups.
Korpisalo was 2-1 while posting a 1.45 GAA, .956 SV% and two shutouts in four starts vs. the Maple Leafs in the qualifying round. It was a terrific showing from Korpisalo, who is now the unquestioned No.1 in Columbus with Elvis Merzlikins out indefinitely. Korpisalo did not face the Lightning during the 2020 regular season.

Goalie Start
Reimer will make his series debut in Game 3.
Petr Mrazek started and won the first two games of the series but with Game 3 coming on the tail-end of a back-to-back, Reimer will start tonight. He started 24 games in the regular season, going 14-6-2 with a 2.66 GAA and .914 SV%. He has made seven career playoff starts, but the last one was in 2013. He was 3-4 with a 2.87 GAA and .923 SV% in that series.
Goalie Start
Shesterkin (undisclosed) will start Game 3 vs. the Hurricanes.
Shesterkin was surprisingly "unfit to play" in Games 1 and 2 but will make his playoffs debut in an elimination game on Tuesday. Shesterkin was lights out after being recalled from the AHL in January. The rookie went 10-2-0 with a 2.52 GAA and .932 SV% in 12 starts and will need to bring that game tonight if the Rangers are going to keep their season alive.
Goalie Start
Korpisalo led the Blue Jackets onto the ice for Game 2.
Korpisalo stopped all 28 shots the he faced in a shutout win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1. The Blue Jackets did a terrific job in limiting Toronto and Korpisalo was there to clean up the rest. As good as he was, Toronto is still a high-powered offence that should bring a better effort in Game 2, making Korpisalo a somewhat risky DFS play.

Shesterkin (undisclosed) is "unfit to play" in Game 1 vs. the Hurricanes.
The Blue Jackets have signed Joonas Korpisalo to a two-year contract extension worth $5.6 million ($2.8M AAV).
Korpisalo was set to become a restricted free agent this offseason but got a two-year extension on Friday. Korpisalo will make $2.2 million in 2021 and $3.4 million in 2022, which would be the first season of his UFA years. In the first year without Sergei Bobrovsky, Korpisalo went 19-12-5 with a 2.60 GAA and .911 SV% in 37 games (35 starts) while splitting the crease primarily with Elvis Merzlikins. Throughout his five-year career, Korpisalo has gone 60-43-14 with a 2.80 GAA And .908 SV%.
The Rangers signed Patrick Khodorenko to an entry-level contract.
Khodorenko was an undrafted free agent and finished his senior season at Michigan State University, where he led the team in goals (16) and points (33) in 36 games. Khodorenko's contract begins in 2020-21, and he will join the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) immediately on an Amateur Try-Out.
The Rangers signed Matthew Robertson to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Rangers selected Robertson in the second-round (No. 49 overall) in 2019 and he finished the 2019-20 campaign as the highest-scoring defenseman on the Edmonton Oil Kings. Robertson had 13 goals and 34 assists (47 points) in 60 WHL games.
Goalie Start
Shesterkin will start against the Stars on Tuesday.
Shesterkin was yanked after allowing five goals on 23 shots in the Rangers loss to the Devils on Saturday. It was a disastrous return to the crease for Shesterkin, who had his seven-game winning streak snapped in the process. Tonight he faces a Stars team that is on a five-game losing streak (0-3-2) while scoring just 1.40 goals per game.
