Can Joonas Korpisalo deliver once again?

After a shaky outing in Los Angeles, the young goaltender has turned in back-to-back wins during the Blue Jackets' active seven-game winning streak. In that segment was a so-so performance against Colorado and a tremendous effort against the Vegas Golden Knights, but tonight's task is slightly different.

The Blue Jackets are in Boston for the front end of a back-to-back that concludes tomorrow at Madison Square Garden, where we presume Sergei Bobrovsky will start. Korpisalo gets the nod tonight against the Bruins, who are trying to catch the Tampa Bay Lightning atop the Atlantic Division.

They'll be ready, and the Blue Jackets ought to be prepared to match them. Their last visit to TD Garden was an utter nightmare.

John Tortorella said this morning that Seth Jones (upper body) will not play tonight. It's the second straight game he's missed.
