Bobrovsky is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

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.

Kunin (upper-body) will return to the Wild lineup on Tuesday.

Kunin has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but is expected to replace Gerald Mayhew in the lineup on Tuesday. It's unclear how the Wild's lines will shake out with this change but Kunin re-enters the lineup with 11 points (4G / 7A) in his last 19 games.

Bobrovsky suffered a lower-body injury in warmups on Sunday.

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 will start Saturday vs. the Blackhawks.

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.
