Korpisalo will start Monday vs. the Lightning.

Korpisalo allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to St. Louis on February 2nd. Sergei Bobrovsky has started the last six games but Korpisalo will get a shot tonight vs. the Lightning. The 24-year-old has gone 4-3-1 with a 3.16 GAA and .893 SV% in 11 appearances (nine starts) at Nationwide Arena this season.

Reimer will start Thursday vs. the Flames.

Reimer was pulled after allowing three goals on 12 shots in the Panthers loss to the Lightning on Sunday. Since the calendar flipped to 2019, Reimer has gone 2-3-2 with a 2.93 GAA and .905 SV%, which is slightly better than his overall numbers on the season. Still, he hasn’t been very good this season and tonight’s matchup with the Flames is not a friendly one.

Reimer will start Tuesday vs. the Blues.

Reimer allowed one goal on 35 shots in the Panthers win over the Golden Knights on Saturday. Reimer has won two straight games while stopping 71 of 74 shots (.950 SV%) so the Panthers will stick with the hot hand tonight vs. the Blues. The 3-year-old has gone 5-4-3 with a 2.99 GAA and .910 SV% at the BB&T Center this season.

The Kings have acquired the rights to Sean Durzi, Carl Grundstrom and a 2019 first-round pick from the Maple Leafs for Jake Muzzin.
