Marco Sturm just confirmed his starting goaltender for the game tonight against the Buffalo Sabres, and Joonas Korpisalo is getting his first back-to-back start for the Bruins.
This morning has been filled with news for the Boston Bruins. At first, it was revealed that Hampus Lindholm was missing from practice, and the reason was unclear at first.
Later it was revealed that Lindholm and his family faced some life-changing news, as he and his fiancee had their daughter this morning.
Hampus Lindholm and his fiancée welcomed a baby girl this morning. He is expected to play tonight.
Then Sturm confirmed that the Bruins' top six was getting a different look as Marat Khusnutdinov will be on the top line with Lindholm and Pastrnak. On the other hand, Morgan Geekie is getting demoted down to the third line with Jeannot and Minten.
Now, Sturm just confirmed that Joonas Korpisalo will be guarding the crease once again.
Korpisalo makes first back-to-back start for Bruins
After having a really solid game against the New York Islanders and a pretty good start to the year for the Bruins, Korpisalo is once again going to be the starter tonight.
Sturm: Korpisalo starts tonight.
This is the first time Korpisalo will start in back-to-back games for the Bruins.
I believe this will be Joonas Korpisalo's first back-to-back starts for the #NHLBruins
The Sabres are travelling to Boston for tonight's game, where puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.
