Columbus Blue Jackets netminder Joonas Korpisalo will start Friday’s home tilt with the Edmonton Oilers.
Korpisalo allowed two goals on 23 shots in the Blue Jackets’ loss on Monday. The defeat snapped a three-game winning streak for Korpisalo, who was 7-3-2 with a 2.46 goals against average and .922 save percentage in February. Tonight, he will face an Oilers team which has won three in a row, including a 4-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers last night.
Our models view Korpisalo as the last-ranked goalie for Friday night. We project him to allow 2.62 goals on 27.67 shots with 41 percent chance of earning the win.
