Drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the third round (62nd overall) in 2012, Korpisalo has steadily developed into a reliable NHL netminder. But what can Bruins fans expect from their new goalie?
Korpisalo’s Career Journey
Korpisalo spent his first eight NHL seasons with the Blue Jackets, facing the challenges of sharing the crease with Elvis Merzlikins. Despite this, he’s consistently posted respectable save percentages and demonstrated the ability to steal games. His athleticism and quick reflexes make him a tough opponent for shooters, and he’s shown a knack for making timely saves in high-pressure situations.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Korpisalo’s strengths lie in his agility, puck-tracking ability, and competitive drive. He’s not afraid to challenge shooters and often comes up big in crucial moments. However, he can sometimes be prone to inconsistency, and his rebound control has been an area needing improvement.
