"Just give him another good practice. [Wednesday] was not really a practice. He just went out and was happy to be at the rink. Today will be a good practice and [Friday] will be a good practice. And it's an afternoon game [Saturday vs. Philadelphia], so there's a lot more to it and we just want to make sure we do the right thing."
"It's league protocol. It's a pretty big bump. So I can understand that. [Korpisalo on being pulled from the game after the collision with Miles Wood]"
"He better. [DiPietro responding with a laugh when asked if Korpisalo would return to Boston's home game, expressing confidence in his teammate's recovery]"
The Boston Bruins faced Columbus with Joonas Korpisalo as starter and Michael DiPietro as emergency backup after Jeremy Swayman was given additional practice time following his Olympic break. Early in the second period, Blue Jackets winger Miles Wood collided with Korpisalo in the crease, resulting in goaltender interference. Korpisalo was subsequently removed by the concussion spotter following league protocol. DiPietro entered the game for his first NHL appearance since 2022. Boston ultimately won 4-2, with DiPietro managing the situation effectively during his unexpected return to professional hockey.
