The Blue Jackets have recalled Joonas Korpisalo from Cleveland (AHL).
Korpisalo has regularly made the trip to Cleveland this season to stay sharp when Sergei Bobrovsky is starting in Columbus. The 23-year-old has gone 2-4-1 with a 2.15 GAA and .928 SV% in seven starts with the Monsters and is 5-5-0 with a 2.97 GAA and .910 SV% in 11 games with Columbus.
Goalie Start
Korpisalo gets the nod for the Blue Jackets on Saturday.
McAvoy (heart) will be back in the Bruins lineup on Saturday.
McAvoy (heart) has been cleared for full practice; won’t play Thursday but could be back on Saturday.
McAvoy underwent a procedure to treat an abnormal heart rhythm on Monday; expected to miss at least two weeks.
Arvidsson (lower-body) has been activated from IR; will return on Saturday.
Goalie Start
Korpisalo will start Thursday vs. the Stars.
Korpisalo allowed five goals on 35 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Lightning in his last NHL start (Dec. 31st). Korpisalo has been getting playing time in the AHL recently and will start the Blue Jackets' first game out of their bye week tonight. He started the first game after their break last year and pitched a shutout in a 7-0 win over the Islanders.
Goalie Start
Korpisalo was the first goalie off of the ice at the Blue Jackets morning skate.
Korpisalo allowed five goals on 35 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Lightning in his last NHL start (Dec. 31st). Korpisalo has been getting playing time in the AHL recently and it looks like he may start the Blue Jackets first game out of their bye week tonight. He started the first game after their break last year and pitched a shutout in a 7-0 win over the Islanders. We'll find out later if Torts is just messing with us.
The Predators have placed Viktor Arvidsson (lower-body) on IR.
Arvidsson (lower-body) took part in the Predators morning skate and is expected to play on Tuesday.
Arvidsson had to be helped off of the ice at practice; unable to put any weight on his leg.
Arvidsson reportedly had to be helped off of the ice this afternoon, which doesn’t bode well for his availability for Tuesday’s game vs. the Golden Knights. Arvidsson will likely be evaluated this afternoon and the Predators will likely release a timetable prior to tomorrow’s game if he is going to miss any time.
Lindholm (illness) will be back in the Hurricanes lineup on Sunday.
Lindholm is not on the ice for warmups; won't play vs. the Capitals.

The Blue Jackets have recalled Joonas Korpisalo from Cleveland (AHL).
The Blue Jackets had a few days off so Korpisalo went down to get a start because Sergei Bobrovsky is on a roll right now. Korpisalo stopped 29 of 30 shots in a 1-0 loss to Milwaukee (AHL)—Juuse Saros was doing the same thing for the Predators and he stopped all 27 shots that he faced in a great AHL goaltending duel.

The Blue Jackets have sent Joonas Korpisalo to Cleveland (AHL).
The Blue Jackets had Friday and Saturday off, so Korpisalo heads to the AHL to get a start over the weekend. This suggests that Sergei Bobrovsky will get the start on Sunday, which comes at no surprise.
