The Columbus Blue Jackets placed Joonas Korpisalo on injured reserve and added fellow goaltender Jet Greaves on an emergency recall.

Korpisalo sustained a lower-body injury during Friday night’s 3-1 win over the visiting Calgary Flames. He stopped all 12 shots he faced before being replaced by Elvis Merzlikins to start the second period.

Korpisalo, 28, is expected to miss one to two weeks. He is 4-5-1 with a 3.53 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage in 12 games (11 starts) this season, his eighth campaign with Columbus.

Greaves, 21, signed an entry-level deal with the Blue Jackets last February and has yet to make his NHL debut. He has a 4-3-2 record with a 4.10 GAA and .878 save percentage in 10 games this season with the AHL’s Cleveland Monsters.
