Driedger stopped 33 of 34 shots in the Panthers win over the Canadiens on Saturday. Since returning from injury, Driedger has gone 1-0-1 while stopping 59 of the 62 shots (.952 SV%) that he's faced. He has yet to lose on the road in two tries but draws a tough assignment in St. Louis, where the Blues have won five straight while scoring 3.40 goals per game.
Boqvist was a late-scratch from Friday's lineup after suffering a wrist injury in warmups. He was back on the ice for Sunday's morning skate and said he is "good-to-go" for tonight's game vs. the Blues.
Driedger stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Panthers loss to the Bruins on Thursday. The loss moved Driedger to 5-2-1 with a 2.29 GAA and .932 SV% on the season and tonight he'll make his 10th start of the season. Tonight he faces a Canadiens team that has gone 3-4-0 while being outscored 21-to-18 in their last seven road games.
Boqvist played with the Devils on Tuesday but will go to the AHL to help Binghamton make the playoffs. He has eight points (5G / 3A) in 15 AHL games this season.
Driedger has been out since January 16th but will return to the net tonight vs. the Bruins. Driedger played extremely well for the Panthers from late-November up until he got hurt, going 5-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and .932 SV%. Still, he has a terrible matchup tonight with the Bruins in town and so far they've scored four goals in each game against Florida in 2020.
Driedger has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since mid-January and was recently sent to Springfield on a conditioning stint. He struggled in his only AHL game, allowing five goals on 33 shots in a 6-3 loss to Bridgeport. He could be in-line to start Thursday with Sergei Bobrovsky (lower-body) listed as day-to-day.
Bobrovsky was a late-scratch on Sunday and missed Tuesday's practice, putting his status for Thursday's game in doubt. If Bobrovsky isn't available vs. the Bruins, Chris Driedger comes back from the AHL and will join Sam Montembeault as the Panthers' temporary goaltending duo.
Bobrovsky was scheduled to start vs. the Flames but "tweaked" something during warmups which led to Samuel Montembeault getting the nod for the Panthers. If the Panthers want a chance at making the playoffs, they need a healthy Bobrovsky. Luckily they're off until Thursday, so he should be good-to-go.
Bobrovsky surrendered four goals on 28 shots in the Panthers loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday. The veteran has been very inconsistent in the month of February, going 4-7-1 with a 3.33 GAA and .903 SV% in 12 starts. Today he’ll try and keep the Panthers in the playoff hunt with a win over the Blackhawks—he stopped 32 of 35 shots in a 4-3 win in his first start vs. Chicago.
Bobrovsky stopped 37 of 38 shots in the Panthers 2-1 win in Arizona on Tuesday. It was an outstanding game for Bobrovsky, who has won three of his last four games while posting a 2.51 GAA and .931 SV%. Tonight he'll start a crucial game vs. the Maple Leafs, who he stopped 31 of 34 shots in a 5-3 win against in early-February.

Driedger has been out since mid-January with a lower-body injury but will get a few games with Springfield before returning to the Panthers to serve as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup. Driedger is 6-8-0 with a 2.09 GAA and .938 SV% in 14 AHL games this season.
Bunnaman may be a casualty of the Flyers moves on Monday. Philadelphia added two veteran centres in Derek Grant and Nate Thompson, likely forcing Bunnaman to the AHL for the foreseeable future. The 21-year-old has two points (1G / 1A) in 21 NHL games and five points (4G / 1A) inn 24 AHL games this season.
Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 40 shots in the Panthers loss in Los Angeles last Thursday. He was given Saturday night off but will make his 47th start tonight in Arizona. Bobrovsky has gone 10-10-3 with a 3.39 GAA and .892 SV% on the road this season. Conversely, the Coyotes are 8-1-3 while averaging 3.67 goals per game in their last 12 home games.
Rodrigues spent five years in the Sabres organization after signing as an undrafted free-agent in 2015. The 26-year-old has spent the majority of his career playing in Buffalo’s bottom-six, compiling 26 goals and 45 assists in 192 career games. He is set to become a restricted free-agent on July 1st.
