Joonas Korpisalo News

Korpisalo appears to still be nursing an undisclosed injury that kept him from dressing in the second game of the NHL Global Series in Sweden on November 18th. The Senators have recalled Mads Sogaard to serve as the backup to Anton Forsberg in the interim. The Senators will hope Korpisalo can return soon as he was finally starting to find his footing this season, posting a 4-2-0 record and a .921 SV% in his last eight appearances.

Korpisalo has consecutive wins for the first time this season and will start for the seventh time in the last eight games for the Senators. After posting an ugly .865 SV% in his first three games (1-2-0), Korpisalo has quietly put together an impressive seven-game stretch (3-2-0), boasting a healthy .925 SV%. The Senators are slight -128 home favourites as they face off against the Detroit Red Wings in Sweden as part of the NHL Global Series. The Red Wings have lost three of their last five (2-2-1) but continue to rank in the top five of the league in terms of goal-scoring (3.67 GF / GP).

Korpisalo allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Senators win in Toronto on Wednesday. The win snapped a two-game losing skid for Korpisalo, who has given up at least three goals in six of eight starts this season (.902 SV%). On Saturday, he'll face a Flames team that lost in a shootout in Toronto last night and have dropped seven of their last nine games.

Korpisalo will be hoping for a bounce-back performance on Wednesday after surrendering three goals on 20 shots before being pulled in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Lightning. It was a disappointing start for Korpisalo after he appeared to have turned a corner prior to Saturday's defeat, registering a .921 SV% or better in his previous three starts. On the season, Korpisalo owns a .901 SV% and a 3.44 GAA to go along with his 2-4-0 record. Things won't get any easier for Korpisalo and the Senators tonight as they are +140 road underdogs against the Maple Leafs.

Korpisalo will man the Senators' crease for a fourth-straight start after dropping their previous contest after allowing three goals on 38 shots (.921 SV%) but will likely start Saturday vs. Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old signed a five-year contract in the offseason and has struggled early with his 2-4-0 record, .906 SV% and 3.19 GAA. He takes on the Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday, who have lost their last two contests but are ninth in the NHL in goals per game (3.4).

Korpisalo was on the ball in his previous start as he stopped 41 of 43 shots (.953 SV%) to snap a two-game losing streak as he beat Pittsburgh and will likely take the crease Thursday after occupying the starter's crease at morning skate. After signing a five-year, $20 million contract in the offseason he has struggled early and is 2-3-0 with a .903 SV% and 3.22 GAA. He takes on his old team in Los Angeles, whose offense is in tact as they are currently leading the NHL in goals per game (4.33)

Korpisalo allowed three goals on 38 shots in the Senators loss to the Islanders on Thursday. While it was an encouraging performance, Korpisalo still has just one win in four appearances this season. He draws a tough assignment on Saturday in Pittsburgh--the Penguins are top-10 in xGF/60 (3.38) this season.

The Senators starting goalie position looked like it was about to be overtaken by Anton Forsberg before a forgettable performance on Tuesday where he allowed five goals on 18 shots, opening the door back up for Korpisalo. Korpisalo has had an equally forgettable start to his tenure as an Ottawa Senator, sporting an ugly 3.63 GAA and .872 SV% through four games (1-2-0). Until one goalie can prove himself as the undisputed number one, the two will likely continue to rotate starts. Tonight, Korpisalo and the Senators are +113 road underdogs against a New York Islanders team that has lost three straight.

Korpisalo allowed two goals on 24 shots (.917 SV%) in a win over Tampa in his previous start and will get the start Saturday vs. Detroit. The 29-year-old netminder signed a five-year, $20 million contract in the offseason and has a 1-1-0 record with a .894 SV% and 3.53 GAA this season. He takes on the Detroit Red Wings, who have won three straight games and are tied for first in the NHL in goals per game (4.75).

The newly signed Korpisalo will likely make his Senators debut tonight against the Hurricanes. Korpisalo is coming off the busiest season of his career, which saw him appear in 39 games (18-14-4) where he posted a 2.87 GAA and .914 SV% between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings. Despite being outperformed by Anton Forsberg in the preseason, Korpisalo still performed extremely well in two games (1-1-0), recording a 2.02 GAA and .934 SV% along with a shutout. The two Ottawa goaltenders will likely both see their fair share of action this season but at least to start, Korpisalo gets the priority in the season-opener. The Hurricanes will be without star winger Andrei Svechnikov to start the season. Despite ending the season with the second-best record (52-21-9), the Hurricanes were only mid-pack in terms of goal scoring, ranking 15th with an average of 3.20 goals scored per game. Even so, the Senators are still +160 underdogs against the Hurricanes in their season-opener.
