Korpisalo will be back between the pipes on Thursday after Anton Forsberg's disappointing display in Tuesday's 6-3 defeat to the Canucks. Korpisalo enjoyed one of his best starts of the season his last time out, stopping 45 of the 46 shots he faced enroute to a 5-1 victory over the Sabres on Sunday. He'll be hoping to keep things rolling on Thursday in Seattle as he looks to improve upon his disappointing .889 SV% and 7-12-0 record on the season.
