Searching for a Winning Backup

Surprisingly today, the Columbus Blue Jackets sent Anton Forsberg back to the Cleveland Monsters and retained Joonas Korpisalo as the backup goal tender behind Sergei Bobrovsky.

Even though he was rushed into duty, Forsberg did not have a particularly strong game against Carolina. That assessment was applicable to most of the roster as well, but the goal tender seemed unable to make the key save. The team played well in front of Joonas Korpisalo last year, and I imagine they are interested in seeing if the same thing holds for this year. For Korpisalo it is a good opportunity to get on track.
