4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo will guard the crease on Thursday as the team finishes off a four-game set against Carolina. The Jackets won the first two meetings in the matchup, but Korpisalo didn't get any goal support and the last meeting on Monday ended with a 3-0 defeat. Korpisalo has looked solid this month, but his overall record stands at an unimpressive 8-10-5. He has posted a 2.98 goals-against average for the season with a .900 save percentage. Columbus has leaned heavily on him with Elvis Merzlikins battling various health issues throughout the campaign. The Latvian netminder missed Wednesday's practice with an illness but should be able to back up Korpisalo on Thursday.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
