Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering a knee injury during Sunday's game, coach John Tortorella said Monday.

Korpisalo left the 3-2, shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks after being injured trying to stop the first-round overtime shot from Jonathan Toews.

The 25-year-old has a 17-10-4 record this season with a 2.49 goals-against average and .913 save percentage.

Korpisalo's injury was part of the reason for a rant from Tortorella after the loss. The coach said the whole shootout would have been avoided had extra time been restored to the clock in the third period, allowing Zach Werenski's potential game winner to count.

"So the chain of events, if it was done right," Tortorella said, striking the podium in front of him, "is that we don't lose our goalie and we win the hockey game. So all the goddamn technology, right? The technology and getting things right ... the stubbornness tonight, by the officials and by the league and Toronto, however it's supposed to goddamn work, screws us."

NHL vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said in an email that Tortorella's comments were "unprofessional" and "unacceptable" and that the league is dealing with the matter.

On Monday, Tortorella said in a news conference that he was undisciplined with his Sunday comments.

Elvis Merlikins, who replaced Korpisalo for the shootout, has played in nine games this season and has yet to record a win.
