Surprise! Those are always fun.

Joonas Korpisalo, not Sergei Bobrovsky, will start in goal tonight as the Blue Jackets kick off a four-game home stand at Nationwide Arena against the Vegas Golden Knights. Bobrovsky is ill and won't play, John Tortorella told media this morning, and Korpisalo makes his second start in four games. He last played Thursday in Los Angeles, a 5-2 loss at STAPLES Center.

Jeff Zatkoff was recalled from Cleveland (AHL) on an emergency basis to serve as Korpisalo's backup tonight.
