The Boston Bruins have secured veteran goaltender Joonas Korpisalo from the Ottawa Senators, signing him to a two-year contract valued at $5 million. This move aims to bolster the Bruins’ goaltending depth for the upcoming seasons.
Korpisalo, 30, has demonstrated consistent performance throughout his NHL career. In the 2023-24 season, he posted a 2.69 goals-against average (GAA) and a .915 save percentage (SV%) over 108 regular-season games with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers, and Ottawa Senators. citeturn0search5
