Receives starting nod Korpisalo will protect the road goal Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
Impact Korpisalo entered the holiday break on a five-game losing streak in which he gave up 23 goals. It doesn't get any easier coming out of the break, as Korpisalo will have to face the league's leading goal-scorer in Auston Matthews, as well as the rest of Toronto's offense. The Maple Leafs are averaging 3.58 goals per game this season, good for third in the league.

Impact Only two players scored on Korpisalo, but he gave up three goals to Nathan MacKinnon and two more to Mikko Rantanen. The 29-year-old Korpisalo has been awful during his five-game losing streak, giving up 23 tallies in that span. He's at a 6-11-0 record with a 3.62 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 19 outings this season. The Senators are back at home for the last game before the holiday break -- they'll host the Penguins on Saturday.

Impact Korpisalo allowed six goals on 31 shots in a loss to the Golden Knights on Sunday. He'll get a chance to make up for it in Arizona, and he'll be facing a team that has scored just 11 times over the last six games.
DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles in second period Korpisalo gave up six goals on 31 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Korpisalo let in three of the goals during the second period, turning a 2-2 tie into a 5-2 deficit. This was a third straight loss for the 29-year-old, who has allowed 14 goals in that span. He's down to 6-9-0 with a 3.50 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 17 appearances. Anton Forsberg hasn't done any better in the backup role, so Korpisalo is likely to continue seeing most of the starts in goal. The Senators' road trip continues Tuesday in Arizona.

Impact Korpisalo's now allowed four goals in each of his previous two starts as he fell to 1-4-0 with a disappointing .879 save percentage over his last five outings. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder is 6-8-0 with an .898 save percentage and 3.33 GAA this season. Anton Forsberg will likely get the start Friday against Dallas in the second half of a back-to-back, lining Korpisalo up for a road matchup with the Golden Knights on Sunday.

Tending twine in St. Louis Korpisalo will protect the road goal Thursday versus the Blues, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact Korpisalo has allowed 14 goals while going 1-3-0 over his last four appearances. He took a loss Tuesday versus the Hurricanes, allowing four goals on 28 shots in that game. He'll catch a break Thursday, as the Blues have lost five of their last six games and will be playing with a new coach after firing Craig Berube earlier in the week.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sunk by Hurricanes Korpisalo made 24 saves in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Carolina.
Impact The Senators grabbed an early 1-0 lead but the game was all 'Canes after that, with two power-play goals getting things going for the Carolina offense. Korpisalo has lost three of his last four starts, allowing at least four goals in each defeat, and on the season he carries a 3.28 GAA and .900 save percentage to go along with a 6-7-0 record. With Anton Forsberg not playing any better, however, Ottawa coach D.J. Smith will likely continue trying to ride the hot hand rather than stick to a strict timeshare between the two goalies.

Starting versus Hurricanes Korpisalo will guard the home goal versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Impact Korpisalo earned his 100th career win with a 30-save effort versus the Red Wings on Saturday. He's had mixed results this season with a 3.22 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 14 appearances, though he's won four of his last six starts.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gets 100th career win Korpisalo made 30 saves in a 5-1 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.
Impact It was his 100th NHL victory (100-87-25) in his 235th game. Korpisalo will go down in history as the goalie who allowed Patrick Kane's first goal as a member of the Wings. But after that, he bricked up the net and his mates took over. Overall, Korpisalo is 6-6-0 with a 3.22 GAA and .903 save percentage. It was a nice rebound performance -- he had allowed 13 goals in his three games prior (1-2-0) . Let's hope he can keep it up.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Set to face Red Wings Korpisalo is expected to start in Saturday's road game against Detroit, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Korpisalo will attempt to bounce back after losing his last two starts while surrendering nine goals on 60 shots (.850 save percentage). He's 5-6-0 with a 3.41 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 13 contests this season. Detroit ranks second offensively this year with 3.84 goals per game.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Loses against former team Korpisalo stopped 19 of 23 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Korpisalo took his second straight loss, and he's allowed at least three goals in six of his last seven outings. This was his first game back in Columbus since he was traded to the Kings at last season's trade deadline. The 29-year-old's first year with the Senators has been a mixed bag -- he's at 5-6-0 with a 3.41 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 13 appearances. With Thomas Chabot back from a hand injury, the Senators' defense should improve, which could in turn help Korpisalo get his season on track. Anton Forsberg will likely draw the start Saturday versus the Kraken.
DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Facing Blue Jackets Korpisalo will defend the road crease in Columbus on Friday, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact It will be a homecoming for Korpisalo who spent eight seasons with Columbus before he was dealt to LA at the trade deadline last season. He signed as a UFA with Ottawa in the offseason and is 5-5-0 with a 3.34 GAA and .902 save percentage in 2023-24. The Blue Jackets are last in the Metropolitan Division and 29th overall in the NHL standings with a 7-13-4 record. They are in the middle of the pack as far as shots on goal are concerned, averaging 30.5 per game.
DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Has rough night vs. Florida Korpisalo stopped 33 of 38 shots in a 5-0 loss to Florida on Monday.
Impact It was a bad night for Korpisalo, but in his defense, the first three goals he surrendered were scored on the power play -- Florida was given a staggering seven attempts with the man advantage -- and Ottawa offered him no offensive support, so clearly this loss isn't solely on the goaltender. All the same, Korpisalo has now allowed at least three goals in five of his last six appearances. He has a 5-5-0 record, 3.34 GAA and .902 save percentage in 12 contests this season.
NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Draws start Monday Korpisalo will be stationed between the pipes for Monday's home tilt with the Panthers, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.

The 29-year-old has picked up a win in three straight appearances, stopping 88 of 96 shots during that span. On the year, he's sporting a 3.17 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 11 outings.
NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Available to return Korpisalo (undisclosed) is available to return to the lineup Monday against Florida, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Impact The Senators did not name a starter for Monday's contest, but Korpisalo appears to be ready to return from a two-game absence. He has posted a 5-4-0 record this season with a 3.17 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 11 appearances. If Korpisalo doesn't get the nod against the Panthers, Anton Forsberg will start for Ottawa.
NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Out of action Saturday Korpisalo will not dress Saturday versus the Wild as he is suffering from a minor injury.
Impact The Senators were allowed to take three goaltenders to Sweden for this type of occurrence, so Mats Sogaard will back up Anton Forsberg on Saturday versus the Wild. Korpisalo turned aside 37 shots Thursday in a 5-4 overtime win over Detroit, improving his record to 5-4-0. Consider him day-to-day at this time and he is expected to be ready to return to the crease in time for the Senators next game, Friday versus the Islanders.
NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rides roller coaster for OT win Korpisalo made 37 saves in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Impact The 29-year-old netminder looked like he might cruise to an easy victory when the Sens took a 4-0 lead a little over a minute into the second period, the Wings suddenly roared back with four goals in eight minutes to tie things up before the frame was over. However, Korpisalo was able to regain his focus and shut the door the rest of the way. He's won three straight starts to improve his record on the season to 5-4-0, but his 3.17 GAA and .906 save percentage as far more reminiscent of his lackluster final few years in Columbus rather than his impressive run with the Kings after last season's trade deadline.
NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Set to face Red Wings Korpisalo will guard the crease against Detroit in Tuesday's Global Series game in Sweden, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Korpisalo has won his last two starts while saving 51 of 55 shots (.927 save percentage) over that stretch. Through 10 contests this season, he's 4-4-0 with a 3.10 GAA and a .907 save percentage. Detroit is tied for fifth offensively with 3.67 goals per game this year.
NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Second straight win Korpisalo made 24 saves in a 4-1 win over Calgary on Saturday.
Impact Blake Coleman was the only Flames player to score on Korpisalo. He finished a cross-ice pass into a gaping net on a two-on-one in the second period. Otherwise, Korpisalo was perfect. He has two wins after being pulled in a loss to Tampa Bay last Saturday night, and he's now 4-4-0 with a 3.11 GAA and .907 save percentage. The Sens continue to wobble at times and so does Korpisalo. Consider him in the right match up until Ottawa gets its feet under itself.
NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Facing Flames Korpisalo will patrol the home crease Saturday versus Calgary, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Korpisalo is coming off a 27-save performance in a 6-3 win over Toronto on Wednesday. He has a 3-4-0 record this season with a 3.38 GAA and a .902 save percentage over nine games played. The Flames sit 24th in the league this campaign with 2.77 goals per contest.
NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Plenty of support in third win Korpisalo made 27 saves in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact The two teams swapped goals until midway through the third period, when Ottawa struck three times in just over three minutes to give Korpisalo some breathing room. The 29-year-old netminder hasn't been able to recapture the form he flashed late last season with the Kings, and he's begun his first campaign with the Senators by posting a 3-4-0 record, 3.38 GAA and .902 save percentage through nine games. Look for Anton Forsberg to be in the crease Thursday against the Canucks.
NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tending twine Wednesday Korpisalo will protect the road goal Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Korpisalo was pulled from his last start versus the Lightning after allowing three goals on 21 shots. The Senators were able to spare him from the loss, but he's still at 2-4-0 with a 3.43 GAA and a .902 save percentage through eight outings. The Maple Leafs have scored 19 times over their last six games, though they've won just two of those contests.
