Blue Jackets' Joonas Korpisalo: Busy man in goalie duel

It was a real goalie duel with Jaroslav Halak, one of the best in the business. Korpisalo was actually the busier goalie on the night, but the talented Finn remains without a win since Jan. 15. He's 0-4-1 in that span. Is he the Jackets' goalie of the future? Maybe. But right now, he's a tough fantasy play.

Blue Jackets' Joonas Korpisalo: Defending net Saturday

Korpisalo's looks between the pipes have been few and far between, but he'll get another opportunity Saturday with the Blue Jackets on the second night of a back-to-back set. The coaching staff hasn't been shy about putting him in against top competition, facing the Penguins, Lightning and Blues in his last three starts. That will be the case again versus a Bruins squad averaging 3.46 goals per game on home ice.

Blue Jackets' Joonas Korpisalo: Gives it old college try

Korpisalo did everything he could but was unable to match Matt Murray at the other end of the ice. It was a strong game, but with the Jackets desperate for wins, Korpisalo pretty much needed to be perfect. He wasn't.

Blue Jackets' Joonas Korpisalo: Gets starting nod Thursday

While Korpisalo defends the cage, Keith Kinkaid will serve as the No. 2 and Sergei Bobrovsky (rest) gets the night off. In two career matchups with Pittsburgh, the 24-year-old Korpisalo is 0-2-0 with an .886 save percentage and 4.09 GAA. That stat line won't exactly boost the confidence of the Blue Jackets faithful that the netminder can stop Sidney Crosby and company.

Blue Jackets' Joonas Korpisalo: Needed in relief against Oilers

Making his first appearance since Feb. 18, Korpisalo wasn't tested too much in relief but still handled everything that came his way. The Jackets' No. 2 netminder now sports an uninspiring 3.01 GAA and .897 save percentage on the season, but he could get the call once again Sunday night against the Jets.
