Joonas Korpisalo News

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.

Korpsialo was 18-14-4 with a 2.87 GAA and .915 SV% in 2022-23 with both Los Angeles and Columbus in 2022-23 and has signed a five-year deal worth $20.0 million ($4.0M AAV) with Ottawa.

Korpisalo closed out his impressive 2022-23 season with an 18-14-4 record, .915 SV% and 2.87 GAA through 39 games with both Los Angeles and Columbus and is the expected starter for game 1 Monday after being the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate. The 28-year-old brings nine games of NHL playoff experience to the Kings, with his 3-5-0 record, .941 SV% and 1.90 GAA from his 2019-20 playoff run with Columbus. He takes on the Edmonton Oilers Monday, who had won nine-straight games before the end of the regular season and ended up first in goals per game (3.96).
