Korpisalo was yanked after allowing three Tage Thompson goals on only nine total shots (.667 SV%) as he took the no-decision in his last start. It has been an up-and-down season for the 28-year-old, who is 4-5-1 with a .899 SV% and 3.65 GAA.

Joonas Korpisalo will start Wednesday vs. the Sabres.

Korpisalo allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) as he picked up his fourth loss in five starts his previous time out in a defeat to Detroit. The 28-year-old has done enough to take the Blue Jackets' starting job, with his 4-5-1 record, .905 SV% and 3.51 GAA. He draws another tough task as he takes on the Buffalo Sabres, who surprisingly rank 2nd in the NHL in goals with 3.8 average per game.

He will be a healthy scratch Wednesday as the Sharks play their second of a back-to-back vs. Toronto.
