With Florida on the second half of their back-to-back, Anthony Stolarz will take over the crease after Sergei Bobrovsky secured the victory on Monday. Stolarz has made an excellent offseason acquisition as he has been the perfect backup all season with his 11-5-2 record, 2.02 GAA and .924 SV%. He heads to New Jersey to take on the struggling Devils' on Tuesday, who have lost five of their last seven games and are playing their first game under newly appointed head coach Travis Green.
Stolarz will start for the second time in the last three games for the Panthers when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night. The 30-year-old Stolarz has been tremendous lately, posting a .951 SV% while allowing fewer than three goals in each of his last five outings (4-1-0). The Panthers are sizeable -340 home favourites heading into action.

Stolarz allowed five goals in his last start, a disappointing 5-4 loss to his former club, the Anaheim Ducks, but has otherwise been solid when called upon this season, posting a 2.22 GAA and .912 SV% in 13 games (6-4-2). The Panthers, losers of four straight, are -126 road favourites against a Nashville Predators team that has won three of their last five (3-2-0).

Stolarz will start for the third time this month and look for his second consecutive victory, building off a 17-save performance (.895 SV%) in a 5-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on December 10th. The 29-year-old netminder has played well when called upon this season, posting a 2.19 GAA and .914 SV% through eight games (4-2-1). The Panthers are -117 road favourites on Monday against the Calgary Flames, who have lost four of their last five (1-2-2) and will welcome back their starting goalie, Jacob Markstrom.
