Joonas Korpisalo Tasked With Topping Penguins
6 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo will be between the pipes on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Korpisalo has lost his past three starts while posting a .857 save percentage in the process. The 24-year-old owns a 9-5-2 record this season to go along with a 3.01 goals-against average and .897 save percentage. Sergei Bobrovsky continues to get the majority of the action, so Korpisalo has seen sporadic playing time over the past two months. He allowed four goals on 36 shots during a 4-2 loss to the Penguins back on November 24. The Penguins still boast an elite offensive unit and Korpisalo has been dismal as of late. It is best to avoid him for fantasy purposes on Thursday's slate.
