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

ImpactIt's the second career shutout for the 25-year-old, who also blanked the Bolts back on Feb. 20. Nedeljkovic has been outstanding while Petr Mrazek (thumb) has been sidelined, posting a 1.96 GAA and .930 save percentage over 11 appearances this season, and the 'Canes could have some tough choices to make in net once Mrazek is cleared to return.
