The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed goaltender Joonas Korpisalo to a one-year contract extension for the 2022-23 season, the team announced Friday.
The 28-year-old made his NHL debut with the Blue Jackets in 2015-16. He has a 76-67-21 record with a 3.04 goals-against average (GAA) and three shutouts.
"Joonas has been a consummate pro during his Blue Jackets career and just two years ago was coming off a season in which he was selected to play in the All-Star Game and had a record-setting performance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs," said Kekalainen. "His 2021-22 season was derailed by injury, but we fully believe he will return to form and are happy that he will continue to be a part of our team.”
He finished the 2021-22 season going 7-11-0 with a 4.15 GAA. He missed the final 17 games of the season due to a hip injury.
The Finland native set career bests and was named to the NHL All-Star Game (missed due to injury) in 2019-20, going 19-12-5 with a 2.60 GAA.
