In the Blue Jackets’ first two games of the season, John Tortorella used both of his goaltenders to get them some early-season work right off the bat (and, I’m sure having a home-road back-to-back didn’t hurt in making that decision).
Torts put the defending Vezina winner, Sergei Bobrovsky, in the net against the Islanders for the home opener, and put in back-up Joonas Korpisalo in net against the Blackhawks.
And the results were exactly what you’d expect. Bob was magnificent against the sub-par (or, rather, a sub-par looking) Isles club while the red-hot ‘Hawks put five goals past Korpi.
