He has played in eight games (seven starts) this season and has a 3-4-0 record. He has a career-high 3.95 goals-against average and a career-low .885 save percentage.
Korpisalo has a 72-60-21 record with a 2.95 goals-against average, .904 save percentage and three shutouts in 168 career games with the Blue Jackets.
Tarasov, 22, is 0-2-0 with a 2.22 goals-against average and .936 save percentage in three appearances (two starts) since being recalled on Dec. 2. He set a franchise record for saves by a goaltender in his NHL debut with 34 in a 3-2 loss at Dallas.
