Joonas Korpisalo - NHL News & Rumors

Strong start wasted Korpisalo made 28 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues on Saturday.

Impact The Bruins wasted a strong performance from Korpisalo, who was assumed to be the team's weakest link heading into the season. Not any more. He made a 10-bell save late in the first on a 3-on-1 shot from Brayden Schenn that kept the score 2-1 for the Bruins. His teammates struggled to contain the Blues third line, which contributed both goals and five points in regulation. Yes, the third line. He deserved better. Overall, Korpisalo is 3-2-1 in six starts with a 2.74 GAA and .901 save percentage. With this performance, Korpisalo may have earned Monday's start in Columbus.

Impact Korpisalo has won his last two outings, stopping 54 of 57 shots and earning a shutout. He has a 3-2-0 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .900 save percentage through six appearances this season. St. Louis ranks 27th in the league with 2.53 goals per game in 2024-25.

Hangs on for OT win Korpisalo turned aside 34 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact The Bruins seemed to have the game under control through two periods and took a 3-1 lead into the third, but Korpisalo gave up tallies to Yegor Sharangovich and Nazem Kadri before sweating out the final 10 minutes of regulation just to earn an OT point. The veteran netminder has started three of the last six games as Jeremy Swayman struggles under the weight of his new contract and elevated expectations, and in seven appearances overall Korpisalo has a 3-2-0 record with a 2.71 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Draws start Thursday Korpisalo will start in the home crease for Thursday's game against Calgary, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Korpisalo recorded a 20-save shutout during his most recent start, which came on the road Saturday against Philadelphia, and he'll attempt to stay hot at home Thursday. Over five outings this year, he's logged a 2-2-0 record, 2.70 GAA and .894 save percentage.

Blanks Philly on Saturday Korpisalo made 20 saves in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.

Impact The veteran netminder earned his fifth career shutout with some big stops in the second period when the outcome was still in doubt. Korpisalo had a bumpy Bruins debut in the team's season opener, but since then he's allowed just six goals on 78 shots (.923 save percentage) over his last four appearances. With Jeremy Swayman struggling to live up to the big contract he signed in early October after his training-camp holdout, Korpisalo could see more work in the short term.

Starting vs. Flyers Korpisalo will guard the road net Saturday in Philadelphia, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.

Impact Korpisalo appeared in relief of Jeremy Swayman on Thursday, stopping 13 of 15 shots in an eventual 8-2 loss. The 30-year-old Korpisalo has struggled in his limited playing time so far this year, going 1-2-0 with an .871 save percentage across four games. He'll look to get on track against a Flyers team that's averaging 2.73 goals per game.

Needed in relief Thursday Korpisalo turned aside 13 of 15 shots after replacing Jeremy Swayman midway through the second period of Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The Boston defense didn't give much support to either netminder, but Korpisalo took less damage to his ratios. The 30-year-old has played for four teams in the last three seasons, and it's not hard to see why Korpisalo has become a journeyman -- in four appearances for the Bruins so far in 2024-25, he's stumbled to a 3.48 GAA and .871 save percentage.

Takes hard-luck loss Korpisalo allowed a goal on 18 shots in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Flyers. The second goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Korpisalo was on the wrong side of a shutout, allowing the decisive goal to Tyson Foerster at 5:32 of the second period. Through three starts, Korpisalo is 1-2-0 with 10 goals allowed on 78 shots. Jeremy Swayman will likely be between the pipes Thursday versus the Hurricanes, but Korpisalo should get another chance to start soon, as the Bruins visit the Flyers on Saturday before hosting the Kraken on Sunday.

Facing Flyers Korpisalo will protect the home net Tuesday versus Philadelphia, according to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

Impact During his last outing, Korpisalo stopped 22 shots in a 5-3 win over Colorado on Oct. 16 to record his first win as a member of the Bruins. He has surrendered nine goals on 60 shots through two appearances this season. Philadelphia has accounted for 26 goals over nine games in 2024-25.

Picks up win Wednesday Korpisalo stopped 22 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Korpisalo's second start with the Bruins was a noticeable improvement on his debut. All three Avalanche goals came on the power play, so Korpisalo still needs to work on being the best penalty killer on the ice as the goalie often needs to be. The 30-year-old is 1-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 60 shots through two starts. It's safe to assume Jeremy Swayman will be between the pipes for Saturday's game in Utah.

Set to start Wednesday Korpisalo will protect the road goal versus the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Impact Korpisalo had a poor start in his Bruins debut, allowing six goals on 35 shots against the Panthers. The 30-year-old then gave way to Jeremy Swayman for three games. Korpisalo will try to make a better second impression against an Avalanche team that has scored 10 goals in three games but has been leaky on the back end.

Disastrous Boston debut Korpisalo made 29 saves in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Making his debut for the Bruins, Korpisalo was beaten four times in the first period -- twice in 64 seconds early in the frame, and then twice in 60 seconds late. The veteran netminder settled down the rest of the way, but Boston couldn't put together a comeback against the defending Stanley Cup champs. The Bruins are counting on Korpisalo to replace Linus Ullmark in their goaltending tandem with Jeremy Swayman, but the workload may end up tipping Swayman's way if Korpisalo doesn't step up his game.

Gets starting nod versus Cats Korpisalo will be between the road pipes against Florida on Tuesday, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Impact Korpisalo gets the nod for the opening game of the year thanks to Jeremy Swayman's contract situation, which saw him miss the entire preseason. With Swayman now under contract, the 30-year-old Korpisalo figures to return to the No. 2 role after Tuesday's tilt and is unlikely to see more than 30 appearances in goal this year.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

First real wobble of preseason Korpisalo made 22 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Kings on Thursday.

Impact This was Korpisalo's first queasy outing of the preseason, mostly at the hand of a red hot Quinton Byfield who put up a hat trick. Two of Byfield's goals came 25 seconds apart in the second. Korpisalo is the de facto starter in Boston until Jeremy Swayman inks his new deal. Yes, many pundits have said he'll be better inside the Bruins structure than he was in the porous Sens approach last season. But Boston brass needs him to be near perfect with Swayman holding out for a new deal. Korpisalo was far from perfect Thursday.
