Joonas Korpisalo Starts Against Tampa On Tuesday
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo has a very difficult matchup on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It's a second consecutive start for Korpisalo after Elvis Merzlikins carried the team in five straight games. Both goalies have blown hot and cold this season, and unfortunately for the Jackets, they have mostly been cold. Korpisalo has managed to produce only two wins in his last eight appearances. His record has dropped to 8-11-6, and the 26-year-old owns a 3.03 goals-against average with a .900 save percentage. Tampa has been a bit wobbly lately, but Columbus boasts just one win in eight games, so Korpisalo isn't a reliable option between the pipes on Tuesday.
