This Bruins goalie was honest after the club's loss to the Jets.
The Boston Bruins fell to the Winnipeg Jets by a 6-2 final score on Jan. 30. What made this loss more frustrating for the Bruins was that it was a close game before the team completely collapsed in the third period.
After Elias Lindholm tied the game up at 2-2 just 11 seconds into the third period, Jets star Mark Scheifele scored only 24 seconds later. This was the first of four straight third-period goals the Bruins allowed during the period.
It was a tough period for Bruins goalie Joonas Korpisalo, as he allowed three goals on just five shots. The Jets' fourth goal of the period from Kyle Connor was an empty-netter.
Following the game, Korpisalo was honest with reporters about how he felt his performance went against Winnipeg.
"First couple of periods, pretty good," Korpisalo said. "We had that five-minute lapse where they scored three goals. Obviously, I gotta be better, too. All of us [do]. So, I think that lapse there, we lost the game again. Can't happen. Especially against these teams. These games are huge."
After this loss, Korpisalo now has a 9-5-2 record, a 2.84 goals-against average, and a .894 save percentage. The 30-year-old goaltender will now look to bounce back in his next start from here.
