Gets no help against Panthers Korpisalo turned aside 32 shots in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Making his first start since recovering from a lower-body injury, Korpisalo delivered a solid effort but had no margin for error with the Jackets coming up empty against Chris Driedger. On the season, Korpisalo has a lackluster 3.03 GAA and .900 save percentage, but he should remain in a timeshare with Elvis Merzlikins until one of them gets hot and seizes the top job.

Tending twine Sunday Korpisalo will protect the road net in Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Impact Korpisalo will make his first start since March 25, as he was previously dealing with a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old has been a bit rocky this season, putting together an .899 save percentage and an 8-10-6 record. Meanwhile, the Panthers are red-hot with five straight wins, scoring at least three goals in each game.

Appears in relief Korpisalo (lower body) made 12 saves in relief Saturday in a 5-2 loss to Florida.

Impact He allowed one goal. The Blue Jackets have not been playing well lately, so their netminders are a tough play. This was Korpisalo's first action since an overtime loss to Carolina on March 25. Prior to that, he was 1-3-1 in five starts since March 6. Wait until the Jackets stabilize its game before activating him.

Ready for backup duties Korpisalo (lower body) will suit up for Thursday's game versus the Lightning, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Elvis Merzlikins will start in the blue paint, and Korpisalo is healthy enough for backup duties. Korpisalo figures to enter the lineup for one of the games against the Panthers on Saturday or Sunday. Through 25 appearances this year, Korpisalo has produced an .899 save percentage and an 8-10-6 record.

Won't dress against Lightning Korpisalo (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Korpisalo was on the ice for practice Tuesday morning, so he's clearly nearing a return to action, but he'll have to wait for Thursday's rematch with the Lightning for his next chance to do so. With Korpisalo on the shelf, Elvis Merzlikins will start between the pipes in the first half of Columbus' back-to-back set with Tampa Bay.

Still out Sunday Korpisalo (lower body) won't suit up for Sunday's road game versus the Red Wings, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Elvis Merzlikins will start for a second straight day, and Cameron Johnson will serve as the backup. Korpisalo's considered day-to-day, so his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Lightning.

Aho's OT goal lifts Hurricanes over Blue Jackets 4-3

In goal Thursday Korpisalo will get the starting nod for Thursday's home clash with the Hurricanes, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.

Impact Korpisalo has struggled of late despite getting some rest thanks to the return of Elvis Merzlikins (illness), as he is sporting a 1-3-1 record and .910 save percentage in his previous five outings. At this point, Korpisalo will almost certainly fail to reach the 19-win mark he set last year. The duo figure to continue splitting the crease the rest of the way, making Korpisalo a mid-range fantasy option at best.

MARCH 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets no help in Monday's loss Korpisalo made 25 saves in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact It wasn't a particularly sharp performance from the 26-year-old, and Korpisalo had no margin for error with the Jackets' offense being unable to crack Alex Nedeljkovic in the other crease. On the season, Korpisalo is 8-10-5 with a sluggish 2,98 GAA and .900 save percentage, but for now he remains in a timeshare with Elvis Merzlikins (2.91 GAA, .912 SvP).
