Joonas Korpisalo Lifts Blue Jackets Over Maple Leafs with Shutout
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo stopped all 28 of the shots he faced Sunday night as the Maple Leafs' potent offense wilted in Game 1. While Korpisalo came through with several spectacular saves, it was also a team effort, highlighted by Columbus holding Toronto without a shot on goal in the final six minutes of the contest. Columbus also held Toronto's power-play attack in check, ceding only two shots on one power-play attempt. Korpisalo rewarded Tortorella's confidence in going with him to start the series and has likely earned himself a longer leash than initially thought with this performance.
