Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Carried to win by offense
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 25 saves in Thursday's 9-5 win over the Canadiens.
A week ago, Bobrovsky was one of the hottest netminder in the NHL, winning nine of his last 13 starts with a 2.24 GAA. Over his last two outings, he's crashed back down to earth by coughing up 10 total tallies, but he's still gone 1-0-1 thanks to the Panthers' offense. Florida sits three points back of the Islanders for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference and is very much alive in the playoff race, but the team won't be able to set franchise records for goals in a period (seven in the first frame Thursday) every time out. The Panthers will likely need Bob to get hot again, and soon, if they're going to see postseason action.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Set to start Thursday
Rotowire
Bobrovsky is slated to start at home against Montreal on Thursday, according to David Dwork of Local 10 Miami.
Florida reassigned goaltender Alex Lyon to AHL Charlotte on Wednesday and summoned Mack Guzda. It's believed that the plan is for Bobrovsky to start for the Panthers on Thursday while Lyon gets some work in the minors to avoid getting rusty. Bobrovsky has played in the Panthers' last 10 outings, posting a 6-3-1 record, 2.73 GAA and .902 save percentage in that span. Through 44 contests this season, the 34-year-old has a 21-17-3 record, 2.98 GAA and .904 save percentage. Montreal ranks 28th offensively with 2.74 goals per game in 2022-23.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Surrenders five in OT loss
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 22 saves in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets on Saturday.
Bob had won three straight, but he wasn't great Saturday. The five goals allowed equaled the number he'd surrendered in his three previous outings. The Jets were up 4-2 by the 12:59 mark of the second period, but the Panthers were able to knot things up and force overtime. Bobrovsky is a fantasy gamble in tougher matchups.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Sharp against Vegas
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 31 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.
The veteran goaltender won for the eighth time in 12 starts since the All-Star break, a stretch in which Bobrovsky sports a 2.18 GAA and .932 save percentage. The Panthers are currently on the outside looking in for a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, but if Bob can maintain this form over the final weeks of the season, they might just catch the Penguins or Islanders for a playoff berth.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Bobrovsky will get the starting nod at home versus Vegas on Tuesday.
Bobrovsky will be making his eighth consecutive appearance between the pipes for the Panthers, having posted a 4-3-0 record and 2.65 GAA in his last seven contests. The 34-year-old Russian should continue to see the majority of the starts for the Cats moving forward. As such, Bobrovsky should be a top-end fantasy target given his expected heavy workload down the stretch.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Dazzles in win
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 31 saves Saturday in a 4-1 win over the Penguins.
The only puck that got past him came on a five-on-three power play in the second period. Bobrovsky made several dazzling saves, including a lunge without his stick late in the second to get his blocker on a Sidney Crosby shot. With the win, Bobrovsky also continued his peculiar pattern of alternating wins and losses, extending that streak to seven games. However, the game was an important win that has the Panthers within three points of the Pens for the final Wild Card spot.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Loses duel at home
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 21 saves in a 2-1 loss to Nashville on Thursday.
Bobrovsky's game has picked up of late, as he's 10-6-1 in 17 starts since the start of 2023, and he has allowed just two goals in his last two starts (1-1-0). But he continued his pattern of alternating wins and losses, extending that streak to six games. On Thursday, Bobrovsky played well enough to win, but he was outdueled by Preds backup Kevin Lankinen, who stole the game for the visitors.

Bobrovsky will guard the home goal Thursday versus the Predators, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.
Bobrovsky has alternated wins and losses over his last five outings, giving up 14 goals in that span. He'll catch a bit of a break Thursday against a Predators team that has been heavily involved in selling off assets ahead of the trade deadline. This should be a favorable matchup for the 34-year-old.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Sharp in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Bobrovsky turned aside 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.
Brayden Point beat him on a Tampa Bay power play midway through the second period, but otherwise Bobrovsky had an answer for everything the Bolts threw at him. It's the first time in five starts the veteran netminder's allowed fewer than three goals, but he wraps up February having gone 6-3-0 over nine outings with a 2.48 GAA and .925 save percentage.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Downed by Sabres
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 32 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to Buffalo.
Bobrovsky didn't play badly at all, but 41-year-old Craig Anderson was putting together a performance for the ages in the other crease as he made 53 saves, an NHL record for a netminder north of 40. Bobrovsky will see a heavy workload while Spencer Knight (personal) is away from the team, and through eight starts in February, Bob is 5-3-0 with a 2.67 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 29 of 32 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks on Monday.
The Panthers fell behind 2-0 after Bobrovsky allowed a pair of goals in the first period. However, the 34-year-old netminder would hold Anaheim to one goal over the final two frames while Florida rallied for a 4-3 overtime win. It was a solid response from Bobrovsky after he allowed four goals on 11 shots before being pulled from his last start Saturday. He improves to 17-15-2 with a .902 save percentage this season.
