Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Surrenders five goals in loss
Rotowire
Korpisalo gave up five goals on 28 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Predators. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
Korpisalo's performance is underscored by the fact the Predators had made four trades to ship out veterans in the lead-up to this contest. The 31-year-old netminder wasn't able to hold back Nashville's offense, taking his first regulation loss since Dec. 27 in Buffalo. Korpisalo is down to an 11-9-2 record with a 3.20 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. Look for him and Jeremy Swayman to split the next two games, which are Saturday at home versus the Capitals and Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Nabs win against former club
Rotowire
Korpisalo made 36 saves in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The veteran netminder was busy -- Columbus outshot the home squad 40-23 on the night -- but Korpisalo was up to the task, even after briefly leaving the game in the second period to get checked out following a collision in the crease with Miles Wood. Michael DiPietro made two saves in Korpisalo's absence. Jeremy Swayman should be back to take over top duties between the pipes for Saturday's game against the Flyers, but Korpisalo has been locked in since the calendar flipped to 2026, going 5-0-2 over his last eight outings with a 2.20 GAA and .923 save percentage.

Korpisalo will start Thursday's home game against the Blue Jackets, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.
The Bruins want to give Jeremy Swayman a few more days to rest after participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics, so Korpisalo will draw the start Thursday while Michael DiPietro dresses as the backup. Across his seven appearances leading up to the Olympic break, Korpisalo went 4-0-2 with a 2.20 GAA and .918 save percentage.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Falls to Panthers in shootout
Rotowire
Korpisalo turned aside 22 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Florida.
A tough second period that saw the Panthers score three special-teams goals on 10 shots -- two power-play tallies and one shortie -- kept Korpisalo from winning the game before it headed into OT, and he then got beaten by Anton Lundell and former Bruin Brad Marchand in the shootout. Korpisalo hasn't taken a regulation loss since Dec. 27, going 4-0-2 over his last seven outings with a 2.20 GAA and .918 save percentage, and he'll take that momentum with him to Milan as he represents Team Finland at the Olympics.
Korpisalo will be between the pipes on the road versus the Panthers on Wednesday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Korpisalo has been on the bench for the last three contests. He was solid in January, when he posted a 4-0-1 record and made 134 saves on 144 shots. In his 21 appearances this year, Korpisalo is sporting a 10-8-1 with one shutout, a 3.12 GAA and an .895 save percentage.

Korpisalo made 24 saves in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.
The Bruins took a 3-2 lead into the third period, but Will Borgen deflected a shot off Andrew Peeke's back past the netminder in the third, and then Matthew Robertson slipped the puck through Korpisalo's five-hole with just over a minute left in OT. Korpisalo remains without a regulation loss in January, going 4-0-1 in six outings with a 1.89 GAA and a .931 save percentage as he pushes his way into a timeshare with Jeremy Swayman in the Boston crease.

Rotowire
Korpisalo stopped 30 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
The veteran netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Korpisalo had to withstand a furious comeback attempt by Vegas to put the win in the books.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Makes cameo late Tuesday
Rotowire
Korpisalo stopped all three shots he faced after replacing Jeremy Swayman early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.
The Bruins were down 6-0 when Korpisalo came off the bench, and he might have been busier in a closer contest. The veteran netminder has been sharp since Christmas, going 3-1-0 in his last five outings with a 1.44 GAA and .948 save percentage, and Swayman's inconsistency is opening the door for Korpisalo to get more work.
Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Collects win over Blackhawks
Rotowire
Korpisalo stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Korpisalo allowed two goals in the first period, but he shut the door after that to earn his third straight win. He's allowed just three goals on 80 shots during the winning streak. For the season, the Finnish netminder is up to 9-8-0 with a 3.13 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 18 appearances. Korpisalo is getting a decent share of playing time for a backup, but Jeremy Swayman remains Boston's main man in the crease and will likely start Tuesday in Dallas.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Starting in Chicago
Rotowire
Korpisalo will start Saturday's road matchup against the Blackhawks, per Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site.
Korpisalo has won his last two outings while stopping 55 of 56 shots. He has gone 8-8-0 this campaign with a 3.20 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 17 appearances. Chicago is tied for 25th in the league with 2.74 goals per game this season.
Korpisalo stopped all 27 shots he faced Sunday in a 1-0 win over the Penguins.
Korpisalo, who returned to the Bruins' crease after not playing in the 10-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday, was impressive en route to earning his second straight win. The 31-year-old also extended his streak of performances with a save percentage of at least .900 to three, going 2-1-0 over that span. This was Korpisalo's first shutout of the season, but his fantasy upside will likely remain matchup-based, especially since he's a firm No. 2 option between the pipes behind Jeremy Swayman.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Rattled by Sabres
Rotowire
Korpisalo turned aside 30 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Buffalo, with the Sabres' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
All three pucks that got past Korpisalo came as a result of traffic in front of him -- he was partially or fully screened on two goals, and the third was tipped home by Peyton Krebs. The Bruins No. 2 netminder is struggling to get into the win column on a consistent basis -- over his last eight outings, dating back to Nov. 13, Korpisalo has gone 2-5-0 with a shaky 3.98 GAA and .880 save percentage.
