JOONAS KORPISALO NEWS

Ends losing streak Sunday Korpisalo saved 23 of 24 shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Korpisalo tended a perfect game at even strength and allowed just one goal during a Pittsburgh power play. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder is up to an 11-10-3 record with a 2.90 GAA and a .893 save percentage across 27 appearances this season. With the win, Korpisalo ended a six-game losing streak which has built up since March 1. While he has struggled at times this season, Boston's backup netminder has maintained a solid GAA throughout his time in net this season. Korpisalo hasn't appeared in back-to-back games since early January, meaning Korpisalo's 2024-25 campaign has likely come to a close with one game left on the Bruins schedule.

Set to face Pittsburgh Korpisalo is expected to start on the road against Pittsburgh on Sunday, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.

Impact Korpisalo has a 10-10-3 record, 2.98 GAA and .891 save percentage in 26 appearances in 2024-25. Sunday's matchup might be his last start of 2024-25 -- it's the Bruins' penultimate game, and Jeremy Swayman might start in Boston's season finale versus New Jersey on Tuesday -- so Korpisalo will try to end the campaign on a high note after going winless in his past six appearances (0-4-1). Pittsburgh is in a three-way tie for 17th in goals per game with 2.95.

Gives up five goals Sunday Korpisalo stopped 31 of 36 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Sabres. The sixth goal was an empty-netter with 46 seconds left in the third period.

Impact Korpisalo returned to the ice after not seeing action in each of the Bruins' last four games, but he was defeated once again and suffered a fourth straight loss. Perhaps the most worrisome stat about this is that Korpisalo has given up three or more goals in three of those four starts, a span in which he's gone 0-3-1 with a 3.98 GAA and a subpar .870 save percentage.

Set for road start Korpisalo will defend the road net against Buffalo on Sunday, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Impact Korpisalo will receive the second half of Boston's back-to-back after Jeremy Swayman played in Saturday's 5-1 win over Carolina. The 30-year-old Korpisalo has lost his last three outings (0-2-1), permitting 11 goals on 87 shots. He has a 10-9-3 record with three shutouts, a 2.89 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 25 appearances this season. Buffalo is coming off a 3-2 shootout win over Tampa Bay on Saturday, and the Sabres rank ninth in the league with 3.24 goals per game in 2024-25.

Yields six goals in loss Korpisalo stopped 31 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Ducks.

Impact A pair of goals late in the second period ended up being too much for the Bruins to overcome, though Korpisalo gave up two more in the third. He's lost his last four results, going 0-3-1 with 15 goals allowed over five appearances in that span. For the season, the Finnish goalie is at a 10-9-3 record with a 2.89 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 25 contests. The Bruins' defense is a mix of unremarkable and inexperienced due to the absences of Charlie McAvoy (shoulder), Hampus Lindholm (kneecap) and Nikita Zadorov (personal), so neither Korpisalo nor Jeremy Swayman make for reliable fantasy goalies. The Bruins wrap up their current road trip in Detroit on Saturday. They've alternated goalies over the last eight games, so Swayman is likely to start that contest, while Korpisalo could be tasked with a brutal matchup versus the Capitals on Tuesday if the pattern holds.

Tending twine against Anaheim Korpisalo was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Ahaheim.

Impact Korpisalo will return to the net for the fourth time in the Bruins' last seven games after Jeremy Swayman allowed seven goals on 23 shots during Sunday's loss to the Kings. Korpisalo will have a more favorable matchup, as the Ducks are averaging just 2.64 goals per game this year, which is tied for the fourth-worst mark in the NHL.

Takes loss in 300th career outing Korpisalo stopped 18 of 20 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Korpisalo was unable to win in his 300th career appearance, instead taking his third loss in four outings. He hasn't been bad in that stretch, allowing a modest nine goals on 89 shots in that 0-2-1 span. The 30-year-old netminder is now at 10-8-3 with a 2.75 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 24 appearances in 2024-25. Jeremy Swayman will likely start Sunday in Los Angeles, and he could be between the pipes for the last two games of this road trip (Wednesday in Anaheim, next Saturday in Detroit) as well.

First off Saturday Korpisalo was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating he will defend the road net against San Jose on Saturday.

Impact Korpisalo is coming off a 27-save effort in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Buffalo. He has a 10-7-3 record with three shutouts, a 2.78 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 23 appearances this season. San Jose sits 30th in the league with 2.58 goals per game in 2024-25.

Strong outing in OT loss Korpisalo stopped 27 of 30 shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Impact After allowing the first goal of the game and a second-period tally to Owen Power, Korpisalo made many essential saves down the stretch to send the game to overtime. Despite keeping the extra period scoreless to the final 11 seconds, Buffalo's Alex Tuch deflected a shot from range past Korpisalo on a power play to win the game. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder now has a 10-7-3 record with a 2.78 GAA and a .896 save percentage. Korpisalo has been playing a bit more frequently in March with four appearances. While he only has one win during this stretch, he has posted a .912 save percentage and has elevated his play with the Bruins trying to make a playoff push. Monday night's loss will be costly in that regard, but Korpisalo should see another appearance within the next week. In fantasy, however, there are likely better options on the waiver wire.

Facing Sabres Korpisalo will patrol the home crease against Buffalo on Monday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Korpisalo will make his first start since stopping 20 shots in a 3-2 loss to Carolina on March 6. He has a 10-7-2 record with three shutouts, a 2.79 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 22 appearances this season. Buffalo ranks 12th in the league with 3.12 goals per game in 2024-25.

Needed in relief in Ottawa Korpisalo turned aside 14 of 15 shots after replacing Jeremy Swayman to begin the second period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.

Impact Puck luck went against Boston most of the night, and the goal against Korpisalo was no exception. A shot by Thomas Chabot from the blue line sailed past the the Bruins' net but took a funny bounce off the end boards and came out on the opposite side than what Korpisalo anticipated, giving Drake Batherson a wide-open cage. The veteran goaltender has given up nine goals on 93 shots (.903 save percentage) over four appearances since the beginning of February, and with the Bruins trying to stay in the wild-card picture in the Eastern Conference, Korpisalo might see his workload increase if Swayman's struggles continue.

Stuck with loss Thursday Korpisalo turned aside 20 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The Bruins never led on the night, but Korpisalo nearly got the game to OT and earned a point for his team -- until Nikita Zadorov whiffed on a clearing attempt inside the final minute of regulation and put the puck right on Seth Jarvis' stick for the game-winner. The veteran goalie hasn't seen a lot of work behind Jeremy Swayman in the new year, and over eight outings since the beginning of January, Korpisalo has gone 3-3-1 with a 3.02 GAA and .893 save percentage.
