You wouldn’t know this was his third NHL start by the calm, collected demeanor the 21-year-old goaltender exudes on the ice. He was a hard-luck loser in his debut on Monday, had a rough go against the league’s best team on Tuesday, and had a night off Thursday to regroup before making another start tonight on home ice.
And this one had a much better ending for Korpisalo and his teammates.
The Blue Jackets took a 2-0 lead into the third period, lost their way a bit in the third and had to work overtime to pick up a second point.
