\u0022There were a couple of options and I think Ottawa stood right up there. Playing against them, it\u0027s not fun being a goalie at the other end.\u0022
The Senators had Korpisalo No. 1 on their list of free agent goalies available and they felt like he’d be a good fit. He has a history with Ottawa netminder Anton Forsberg, and the duo has worked together in the past so there’s familiarity there.
“We go a long way back,” Korpisalo said of Forsberg. “We won together in the minors, and we spent some time in Columbus together. We became friends and we leaned on each other. I’m super happy to create that tandem again.Article content The Senators kicked the tires on Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets, but he didn’t want to sign an extension here. John Gibson of Anaheim is available, but he’s not thrilled at the idea of playing in Canada and Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers isn’t the right fit.
Dorion said he’d leave it up to coach D.J. Smith and goalie coach Zac Bierk on how to use his goalies next season and wasn’t about to get caught up in anointing Korpisalo as the No. 1.
