Blue Jackets' Joonas Korpisalo: Gets the nod Saturday

Korpisalo will be between the pipes Saturday against the Islanders.

Analysis:

The 22-year-old netminder will get his sixth start of the season at home against a serious playoff contender. Although Korpisalo's stats haven't been something to brag about (.902 save percentage, 3.27 GAA), his teammates have still found ways to win games -- the Finnish goalie has a 4-1 record over the five games he has started. Korpisalo hasn't truly proved himself in his small amount of ice time, though, making him a riskier pick at goaltender.
