Korpisalo’s Athletic Kick Saves
Joonas Korpisalo reacts quickly and extends his right pad to deny Leo Komarov at point-blank range, keeping the Blue Jackets in front, 1-0. “We got some really good goaltending in the first period,” Tortorella said. “[Korpisalo] gave us a chance."
What they said
“We left our [defense] out to dry. They came at us pretty quick on the forecheck and obviously challenged our goalie pretty quick.”—Josh Leivo
“Our first two periods were really good. We kind of took our foot off the gas there in the third. They’re a really good team, so they made their push.” —Zach Werenski
“We don’t have the swagger in the third period we had earlier in the year, but we’re moving in the right direction there. I don’t think there was any panic on the bench.” —John Tortorella
