Rangers' Joonas Korpisalo: Out with lower-body injury
Joonas Korpisalo sustained a lower-body injury and has been placed on injured reserve Thursday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.Korpisalo was labeled week-to-week by the New York Rangers, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back in action in the short term. Last year, the 32-year-old netminder went 14-9-6 in 31 regular-season outings with a 3.15 GAA, .894 save percentage and one shutout. With Korpisalo on the shelf, Dylan Garand has been called up to serve as the No. 2 option in New York.

Rangers' Joonas Korpisalo: Not great in shootout win
Joonas Korpisalo stopped 20 of 23 shots in a 4-3 preseason shootout win over the Devils on Thursday.Korpisalo's first start of the preseason wasn't all that impressive. The veteran netminder is still the favorite to fill the backup role behind Igor Shesterkin, but Korpisalo has left the door open for Dylan Garand to make a challenge for that gig. All three goalies have started one preseason game, though it's unlikely Korpisalo will go again Friday against the Islanders. Even if he wins the competition, Korpisalo isn't in a fantasy-friendly role -- he's on a rebuilding team and trapped on the depth chart behind a star goalie.

Rangers' Joonas Korpisalo: First goalie off Thursday
Joonas Korpisalo was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports, indicating that he'll draw the home preseason start against the Devils.Korpisalo is competing for the New York Rangers' backup goaltending job ahead of the regular season and will draw his first preseason start Thursday. He made 31 regular-season appearances for Boston last year, going 14-9-6 with a 3.15 GAA and .894 save percentage. It seems likely that Korpisalo will win the No. 2 job over Dylan Garand, but a strong showing Thursday would help to further stake his claim on that role behind Igor Shesterkin.

Rangers' Joonas Korpisalo: Set to compete for backup role
Joonas Korpisalo will have to earn the backup job ahead of Opening Night against the Bruins, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports Wednesday.Korpisalo should have the inside track to secure the No. 2 role, but he is far from a lock to beat out Dylan Garand. Even if Korpisalo wins the battle, he is unlikely to see many starts behind workhorse netminder Igor Shesterkin. As such, Korpisalo probably won't offer much more than middling fantasy value.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Needed in relief in Sunday's loss
Joonas Korpisalo turned aside all six shots he faced after replacing Jeremy Swayman early in the third period Sunday during the Boston Bruins' 6-1 loss to the Sabres in Game 4 of their first-round series.It was the first action of the playoffs for Korpisalo, and Sunday's result had little to do with Swayman, who was simply hung out to dry by his defense. With the Bruins facing elimination in Game 5 on Tuesday, coach Marco Sturm could give Korpisalo the start in an attempt to light a fire under his squad, but Swayman is more likely to be back between the pipes.
