Korpisalo made 24 saves in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.
The Bruins took a 3-2 lead into the third period, but Will Borgen deflected a shot off Andrew Peeke's back past the netminder in the third, and then Matthew Robertson slipped the puck through Korpisalo's five-hole with just over a minute left in OT. Korpisalo remains without a regulation loss in January, going 4-0-1 in six outings with a 1.89 GAA and a .931 save percentage as he pushes his way into a timeshare with Jeremy Swayman in the Boston crease.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Makes cameo late Tuesday
Rotowire
Korpisalo stopped all three shots he faced after replacing Jeremy Swayman early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.
The Bruins were down 6-0 when Korpisalo came off the bench, and he might have been busier in a closer contest. The veteran netminder has been sharp since Christmas, going 3-1-0 in his last five outings with a 1.44 GAA and .948 save percentage, and Swayman's inconsistency is opening the door for Korpisalo to get more work.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Collects win over Blackhawks
Rotowire
Korpisalo stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Korpisalo allowed two goals in the first period, but he shut the door after that to earn his third straight win. He's allowed just three goals on 80 shots during the winning streak. For the season, the Finnish netminder is up to 9-8-0 with a 3.13 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 18 appearances. Korpisalo is getting a decent share of playing time for a backup, but Jeremy Swayman remains Boston's main man in the crease and will likely start Tuesday in Dallas.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Starting in Chicago
Rotowire
Korpisalo will start Saturday's road matchup against the Blackhawks, per Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site.
Korpisalo has won his last two outings while stopping 55 of 56 shots. He has gone 8-8-0 this campaign with a 3.20 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 17 appearances. Chicago is tied for 25th in the league with 2.74 goals per game this season.
Korpisalo stopped all 27 shots he faced Sunday in a 1-0 win over the Penguins.
Korpisalo, who returned to the Bruins' crease after not playing in the 10-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday, was impressive en route to earning his second straight win. The 31-year-old also extended his streak of performances with a save percentage of at least .900 to three, going 2-1-0 over that span. This was Korpisalo's first shutout of the season, but his fantasy upside will likely remain matchup-based, especially since he's a firm No. 2 option between the pipes behind Jeremy Swayman.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Rattled by Sabres
Rotowire
Korpisalo turned aside 30 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Buffalo, with the Sabres' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
All three pucks that got past Korpisalo came as a result of traffic in front of him -- he was partially or fully screened on two goals, and the third was tipped home by Peyton Krebs. The Bruins No. 2 netminder is struggling to get into the win column on a consistent basis -- over his last eight outings, dating back to Nov. 13, Korpisalo has gone 2-5-0 with a shaky 3.98 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Poor showing vs. Ottawa
Rotowire
Korpisalo stopped 12 of 17 shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Senators.
From a statistical perspective, this was Korpisalo's worst game of the season since he posted a .706 save percentage. Concerningly, though, this was the ninth time out of 14 appearances in which he was unable to post a save percentage of at least .900. Given his struggles and his backup role, it's hard to trust Korpisalo in most formats right now.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Perfect in relief Tuesday
Rotowire
Korpisalo stopped all nine shots he faced after replacing Jeremy Swayman early in the third period of Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.
Bruins coach Marco Sturm made the switch to try and spark some life into his team, and the move nearly worked -- Korpisalo entered the game with Boston down 5-2. It was an encouraging start to December in a low-pressure spot for the 31-year-old netminder, who lost his final three starts in November while giving up 13 goals on 90 shots (.856 save percentage), but he remains firmly behind Swayman on the depth chart.
