Following the Boston Bruins' 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, Marco Sturm opened his press conference with some pointed commentary regarding the return of Joonas Korpisalo. When asked about Korpisalo, he used the term “unbelievable” to describe the netminder’s play in his outing against Columbus, who earned First Star, stopping 36 of 38 shots. The interesting comments were what followed. Sturm added how he was “Glad he came back right away…Didn’t waste any time, wanted to be at practice”.
This comes on the heels of Jeremy Swayman winning the gold medal with Team USA at the 2026 Milan/Cortina Olympic Games and being a scratch for Thursday night’s contest.
