What's Happening?
Joonas Korpisalo, the goaltender for the Boston Bruins, is experiencing a difficult start to the NHL season. In a recent game against the Utah Mammoth, Korpisalo allowed three goals on 27 shots, contributing to the team's 3-2 loss. This marks his third
consecutive game with a save percentage below .900, raising concerns about his ability to secure the starting position over Jeremy Swayman. Korpisalo's current record stands at 1-2-0 with a 3.35 goals-against average.
Why It's Important?
Korpisalo's performance is critical for the Bruins as they seek stability in their goaltending lineup. His struggles could impact the team's defensive strategy and overall performance in the league. If Korpisalo fails to improve, the Bruins may need to rely more heavily on Swayman, which could affect team dynamics and player morale. The situation also has implications for fantasy hockey managers who may be reconsidering their goaltending choices based on Korpisalo's current form.
