Korpisalo has not played in three straight but will return to the crease on Thursday against his former team, the Los Angeles Kings. Korpisalo has lost five straight, including a 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators in his last outing where he allowed four goals on 36 shots (.889 SV%). The Senators lost 2-1 last night to the Anaheim Ducks and are entering action as +170 road underdogs on Thursday night.
After originally being confirmed to start the contest, Korpisalo was a late scratch for Friday's game against the Coyotes, with the team only announcing his absence less than 30 minutes before puck drop. Anton Forsberg will make the start in his place.
After starting three consecutive games backing up Anton Forsberg, Korpisalo will likely return to the crease for the second straight game on Friday. Korpisalo allowed four goals on 36 shots (.889 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Tuesday and is winless in his last four starts (0-3-1), allowing three or more goals in each. The Senators enter action on Friday as -186 home favourites against an Arizona Coyotes club riding an unprecedented 14-game losing skid (0-12-2).
Korpisalo will take back the crease on Tuesday after Anton Forsberg gave up six in a loss to Washington in the first part of Ottawa's back-to-back on Monday. The 29-year-old goalie's -14.6 GSAx is far and away the worst among all goalies in the NHL and is a dark spot after he signed a four-year, $20 million contract in the offseason. He will look to halt Nashville's surprising five-game winning streak as Ottawa heads to Bridgestone on Tuesday.
Korpisalo will man the Senators' crease for the third time in four games after backing up Anton Forsberg in Ottawa's previous game. The 29-year-old is in the first of a five-year, $20 million contract in the offseason and has been highly underperforming with his 13-18-2 record, 3.41 GAA and .887 SV%. He takes on one of the NHL's hottest teams in Florida, who has won five straight and nine of their last 10 while leading the NHL in shots on goal per game (34.0).
Korpisalo had the night off on Tuesday, a 6-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, but will return to the crease on Thursday as the Senators attempt to extend their four-game winning streak. Korpisalo has been excellent lately, winning three straight while allowing three or fewer goals in each and posting a .935 SV%. The Senators are sizeable -202 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks squad that was limited to only 13 shots on goal in their last contest, a 5-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

Even though Anton Forsberg is returning from injury Saturday, Joonas Korpisalo will man the crease for a second straight start after winning his previous contest in a 23-save (.920 SV%) effort. The 29-year-old has struggled in his inaugural season in the Nation's Capital, with his 12-16-2 record, 3.38 GAA and .889 SV%. He will take on Toronto in the battle of Ontario on Saturday, who have won four of their last five contests and are sixth in the NHL in goals per game (3.45).
Korpisalo was excellent in relief of Mads Sogaard on Monday, saving all 17 shots he faced in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Nashville Predators. Korpisalo has had a forgettable season but has played better lately, allowing three or fewer goals in five of his last six outings (3-1-2), posting a respectable .910 SV%. That said, the Senators are slight -101 road underdogs on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings, winners of two straight, outscoring their opposition 8-2.

Korpisalo will start for the third time in the last four games when the Senators host the Boston Bruins on Thursday night. The 29-year-old Korpisalo has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his last three starts (2-0-1), posting a stellar .935 SV%. The Senators are +123 home underdogs against a Bruins club that suffered a dramatic 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes last night.

Despite only winning one of his last two games (1-0-1), Korpisalo has limited the opposition to only two goals in both games, saving a combined 48 of 52 shots (.923 SV%). The Senators have had a forgettable season, but have collected at least a point in three straight games (2-0-1), their best stretch of play since mid-November. The Senators are -142 road favourites against a Montreal Canadiens club that they handily defeated 6-2 last week.

Korpisalo recorded a win in his last contest, snapping a five-game losing streak, and will start on Thursday, hoping to record consecutive wins for the first time since mid-November. The 29-year-old goaltender has struggled lately, a byproduct of a poor Senators team, winning only twice in his last 12 appearances (2-9-0), posting an abysmal .862 SV%. That said, the Senators are sizeable -180 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that played last night, defeating the New Jersey Devils 3-2.
