Backup Joonas Korpisalo backstops Blue Jackets to victory
Seth Jones had a goal an assist and backup goaltender Joonas Korpisalo made 39 saves to help the host Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Wednesday night.
Lukas Sedlak, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Alexander Wennberg also scored for the Blue Jackets, who snapped a two-game losing streak.
Korpisalo allowed a first-period goal to Jake Gardiner and another in the third to Mitchell Marner in one of the goalie’s strongest games of the season.
“I thought the guys were really dialed in before the game,” Korpisalo said.
Former Columbus goalie Curtis McElhinney had 33 saves for Toronto, which has lost four of its past five games.
