The Columbus Blue Jackets are holding goaltender Joonas Korpisalo out of the lineup Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres for trade-related reasons, the team announced, according to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline.
Korpisalo has posted a .911 save percentage in 28 appearances in 2022-23. He ranks 16th among NHL goalies this season with 10.18 goals saved above expected, per Evolving-Hockey.
The 28-year-old carries a $1.3-million cap hit and will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
The club recalled netminder Jet Greaves from the AHL in Korpisalo's absence.
