Joonas Korpisalo News
Jeremy Swayman allowed eight goals in Tuesday's one-side 8-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, and the Bruins will revert to Korpisalo between the pipes. The 30-year-old Korpisalo has a solid 2.40 GAA and .909 SV% in 10 appearances this season (6-2-1) but has been excellent lately, allowing three or fewer goals in six straight (5-0-1), posting a stellar .931 SV%. The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as slight -115 road favorites against a Seattle Kraken club with points in four of their last five (3-1-1).
Over the past few weeks, the Bruins have turned to Korpisalo once every three games, a trend that will continue on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. After a rough start to his tenure as a Bruin, allowing nine goals in his first two games (1-1-0) and posting a .850 SV%, Korpisalo has been solid, posting a .928 SV% in seven appearances since (4-1-1). The Bruins enter the action on Tuesday as -179 home favorites against a Red Wings club forced to turn to Ville Husso between the pipes as Cam Talbot and Alex Lyon are both sidelined with lower-body injuries.
The Bruins will turn to Korpisalo on Wednesday as they look to bounce back from Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Canucks. Korpisalo turned in his second shutout in his last four starts his last time out, stopping all 22 shots he faced in a narrow 1-0 victory over Utah. He owns an impressive .945 SV% and 3-0-1 record across that four-game stretch. Korpisalo and the Bruins enter action on Wednesday as very slight underdogs at +105.
In their first game in the post-Jim Montgomery era, Bruins' head coach Joe Sacco will turn to Korpisalo between the pipes. The 30-year-old Korpisalo has been serviceable, improving as the season goes on, posting a stellar .926 SV% in his last five outings (2-1-1). The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as -150 home favorites against the Utah Hockey Club, outscored 10-4 during a two-game losing skid.
The Bruins, fresh off a disappointing 4-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, will switch to Korpisalo between the pipes on Thursday. Korpisalo was excellent in his last outing, his first shutout of the season, saving all 20 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. That said, Korpisalo has been inconsistent this season, posting a 2.70 GAA and .894 SV% in five outings (2-2-0). The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as -156 home favorites against the Calgary Flames.

The Bruins have significantly altered their goaltending structure from the goalie rotation between Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark last season, with Korpisalo starting in net on Tuesday for only the third time in 10 games. The 30-year-old Korpisalo could likely earn more playing time with consistent netminding but has left little to be optimistic about through two outings (1-1-0), posting an ugly 4.57 GAA and .850 SV%. The Bruins enter action on Tuesday as -184 home favorites against a Flyers club that has lost seven of their last eight (1-6-1).
Korpisalo will get the surprise start in Colorado on Wednesday, making his first appearance since Boston's season opener on October 8th. Korpisalo struggled in his Bruins debut, allowing six goals on 35 shots as Boston suffered a 6-4 defeat at the hands of the Panthers. He'll have his hands full again on Wednesday as Boston enters action as +115 underdogs in Denver.
With prolonged contract negotiations that kept Jeremy Swayman from participating in any preseason games, the Bruins will turn to Korpisalo in their season opener against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. Korpisalo was acquired as part of a trade in the offseason that sent Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators. The 30-year-old Korpisalo has shown flashes of brilliance in his career but has been mostly inconsistent, highlighted by a forgetful 2023-24 campaign with the Senators where he posted a 3.27 GAA and .890 SV% in 55 contests (21-26-4). The Bruins enter action as +137 road underdogs against the Panthers.

Korpisalo signed a five-year deal with a $4.0M AAV last July 1st but struggled to live up to his cap-hit in his first year with the Senators. The 29-year-old net minder went 21-26-4 with a 3.27 GAA and .890 SV% in 55 games (49 starts) and gets moved to Boston, where he'll serve as the backup to Jeremy Swayman if he isn't traded again or bought-out. The Senators retained 25 percent ($1.0M AAV) of Korpisalo's contract.
The Senators have won two straight and will return to Korpisalo in the crease on Monday against the New York Rangers. Korpisalo has allowed two or fewer goals in three of his last four appearances (2-2-0) but allowed four on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in his most recent contest, a 5-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens. The Senators enter action as +198 road underdogs.
The Senators will turn to Korpisalo for the second straight game on Tuesday when they visit the Florida Panthers. Korpisalo snapped a three-game losing skid in his last outing, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals. The Senators will be without Tim Stutzle and enter action as sizeable +214 road underdogs.
