Sergei Bobrovsky News
Bobrovsky allowed six goals on 41 shots in the Panthers' loss to the Predators last Thursday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak to open the season for Bobrovsky, who has given up a combined 15 goals on 126 shots (.881 SV%). Tonight he faces a Red Wings team that beat Chris Driedger on Sunday but have lost eight of their last nine games.
Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Panthers' win in Detroit last Saturday. After sitting on Sunday, Bobrovsky will draw back into the crease Thursday vs. the Predators. He has won each of his first three starts of the season, allowing nine goals on 85 shots (.894 SV%). Tonight he'll face a Predators team that has lost five of their last seven games.
Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 22 shots sin the Panthers' win in Columbus on Tuesday. Despite giving up a combined seven goals on 58 shots (.879 SV%), Bobrovsky has opened the season at 2-0-0 and draws an outstanding matchup tonight in Detroit. The Red Wings are without a number of key players and have lost four consecutive games while scoring just 1.75 goals per game.
Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Panthers' 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks last Tuesday. With COVID-19 postponements interfering with the Panthers schedule, Bobrovsky will make his second start of the year one full week after his first. Tuesday's game will mark his third return to Columbus--he was 1-1-1 with a 2.00 GAA and .944 SV% in three games against his former team in 2020.
Bobrovsky has been ramping up his work in practice but the Panthers will be cautious with him and keep him out of Sunday’s game. Chris Driedger will start but the Panthers are hopeful that Bobrovsky will be available for Game 2 on Tuesday.
Bobrovsky had not been on the ice for the first two weeks of training camp but jumped right back between the pipes for Wednesday's practice. The start of the season for Florida has been pushed back to Sunday, so it looks like there's a chance that Bobrovsky could be ready for their season opener.
