The Boston Bruins Hope for a Rejuvenated Korpisalo
The Boston Bruins acquired goalie Joonas Korpisalo despite his struggles with the Ottawa Senators last season. They believe a strong coaching staff and a better defensive system can help him rediscover his form.
Why the Bruins are optimistic:
- Fresh Start: Korpisalo acknowledges last year was rough for Ottawa and wants to move forward.
- Proven Development: The Bruins’ coaching staff has a history of getting the best out of goalies.
- Past Success: Korpisalo played well with the Kings in a challenging defensive environment.
Challenges for Korpisalo:
- Rebounding from a Down Year: He needs to significantly improve his save percentage from last season.
- Earning his spot: The Bruins haven’t had a goalie under .900 save percentage under their current coach in over 20 years.
Overall:
The Bruins are taking a chance on Korpisalo’s potential. His success hinges on his ability to bounce back and the support of a strong defensive system.
