Joonas Korpisalo speaks highly of the Boston Bruins in recent statement
Joonas Korpisalo was acquired in the deal, which sent Linus Ullmark to Ottawa in June.
The 30-year-old hit a string of bad luck in Ottawa, with a 21-26-4 record, a .890 save percentage, and a 3.27 GAA. Ottawa would finish seventh in the tough Atlantic Division finishing below the Montreal Canadiens, they'd miss the playoffs again, for the seventh time.
The Senators struggled despite everyone trying to do their best.
Korpisalo wasn't betting on GM Steve Staios trading him to the Bruins but feels excited about his opportunity in the Black and Gold.
Korpisalo is excited to be in Boston and build chemistry with his new teammates here.
He'll get an opportunity to work with the new #1 goalie Jeremy Swayman and the Bruins goalie coach, Bob Essensa.
Korpisalo may have struggled with the Ottawa Senators, but in the past is a proven goalie. He spent seven seasons with the Blue Jackets prior to his arrival in LA and Ottawa.
In 210 games with the Blue Jackets, he posted a .903 save percentage, a 3.06 GAA, and in LA, posted a record of 7-3-1, in 11 regular season games, with a .921 save percentage and 2.13 GAA. He is proven.
