Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Wins again Saturday
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 21 of 23 shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.
Bobrovsky won consecutive starts for the first time since Dec. 18 and 20. A trip to California and a couple of easier matchups looks to have been just what Bobrovsky needed to get back on track after giving up four goals in three straight starts from Jan. 11 to 16. The 36-year-old netminder is now 20-11-2 with a 2.80 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 33 starts. His recent struggles opened the door for Spencer Knight to earn a 50-50 split, and it'll likely be Knight who gets the nod Sunday in Vegas to close out a four-game road trip.

Bobrovsky will get the starting nod on the road against the Flyers on Monday.
Bobrovsky has been struggling to put together wins of late, going 1-2-1 despite a 2.25 GAA and .922 save percentage over his last four outings. As long as the veteran netminder continues to put up solid ratios, he should get back into the win column sooner rather than later.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Gets starting nod for Saturday
Rotowire
Bobrovsky will be between the pipes for Saturday's home clash with Boston, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Bobrovsky has allowed three or fewer goals in each of his last seven appearances, posting a 4-3-0 record, 1.86 GAA and .940 save percentage. In each of those defeats, the backstop was let down by his offense, who combined for just two goals in those three outings.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Set to face Utah
Rotowire
Bobrovsky is expected to start on the road against Utah on Wednesday.
Bobrovsky has lost his past two starts, but that's due to a lack of offensive support rather than struggles on his part. In fact, he was solid over those two outings, stopping 68 of 72 shots (.944 save percentage). Perhaps Florida will give him more help Wednesday -- the Panthers do rank 10th in goals per game with 3.24, so their recent issues are unusual. Utah ranks 22nd with 2.90 goals per game.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Tough loss to Avs
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 31 of 33 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche, with Colorado's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The veteran netminder had a shutout going late in the second period until Devon Toews' point shot hit the crossbar, bounced off the ice and then caromed into the net off Bobrovsky's backside to tie the game at 1-1. Toews then scored again midway through the third, and the Panthers couldn't find a response. Bobrovsky has lost three of his last four starts despite playing well due to a sudden lack of offensive support -- the Panthers scored just two goals total in those four games. Over his last 10 outings, Bobrovsky is 6-4-0 with a 2.28 GAA and a .919 save percentage.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Between pipes against Avalanche
Rotowire
Bobrovsky will tend the twine for Monday's road game against Colorado.
Bobrovsky hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last six appearances but has gone 4-2-0 in that span. Still, with 17 wins in 26 outings, the 36-year-old Russian is primed to reach the 30-win mark for the third time in the last four seasons. While it's possible Spencer Knight gets a few extra starts to keep Bobrovsky well rested, the veteran is the clear No. 1 option for Florida.
