Slated to start Saturday Bobrovsky is slated to protect the home crease versus Vegas on Saturday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact Bobrovsky is off to a 2-1-1 start in the early going, with a 2.99 GAA and an .898 save percentage. It appears that Spencer Knight will garner a bigger share of the starts this season, giving the 36-year-old Bobrovsky more time off and making him fresher for another playoff run. The Golden Knights are averaging 4.00 goals per game and could give Bobrovsky some trouble Saturday.

Scuffles continue Bobrovsky made 30 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks on Tuesday.
Impact The first two goals that got past Bobrovsky were controversial. Teddy Blueger's first-period goal was called no goal on the ice, but that was overturned by the Situation Room after they determined the puck had completely crossed the line. Then Quinn Hughes' second period goal was challenged on the ice on a possible hand pass, but video review showed the puck deflected off the player's glove. J.T. Miller scored off the rush in OT. Bobrovsky has been mid so far this season with a 2-1-1 record, 2.99 GAA and .898 save percentage. That's sluggish to say the least after his brilliant 36-17-4 record, 2.37 GAA and .915 save percentage from 2023-24 (and a long Cup run). Hopefully this isn't Cup fatigue.

Tending twine Thursday Bobrovsky will be between the home pipes versus Vancouver on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact Bobrovsky has won two of his three starts to begin the 2024-25 campaign, giving up nine goals on 85 shots (.894 save percentage). He will face the struggling Canucks, who are 0-1-2 thus far, scoring only eight goals in three contests. Bobrovsky had his troubles versus Vancouver last season, losing both starts while allowing eight goals on 47 shots.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Secures win over Bruins Bobrovsky gave up three goals on 27 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over Boston.
Impact Bobrovsky registered a sub-900 save percentage for the second time in his three appearances this season but still managed to pick up win No. 2. With the Panthers heading into a back-to-back, Spencer Knight figures to get the nod on the road against Columbus on Tuesday before Bobrovsky likely retakes the crease again Thursday versus Vancouver.

In goal Monday Bobrovsky will get the starting nod on the road against Boston on Monday.
Impact Bobrovsky will be coming into Monday's matchup with some extra rest after Spencer Knight patrolled the crease versus Buffalo on Saturday. Despite stopping 28 of 30 shots his last time out (.933 save percentage), the Bobrovsky was still saddled with a road loss to Ottawa on Thursday. With both Matthew Tkachuk (illness) and Aleksander Barkov (lower body) currently sidelined, Bobrovsky will need to step up his game even more as his offensive support is likely to falter.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Ambushed by Sens Bobrovsky turned aside 28 of 30 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Senators, with Ottawa's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Impact The two Sens tallies against Bobrovsky both came before the 11-minutes mark of the first period, including a power-play strike through traffic by Tim Stutzle. The 36-year-old goalie stood tall the rest of the way, but the Panthers' offense had trouble solving Linus Ullmark. Bobrovsky is 1-1 with a 3.03 GAA as he settles into the current season.

Facing Ottawa Bobrovsky will defend the road crease in Ottawa on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Bobrovsky will make his second consecutive start to begin the 2024-25 campaign. Bobrovsky gave up four goals on 28 shots in a 6-4 win over Boston on Opening Night. The 36-year-old will face the Senators, who were 14th in the Eastern Conference standings last season with 76 points.

Carried to win by offense Bobrovsky turned aside 24 shots in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Bruins.
Impact The Panthers jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first period and were comfortably ahead 6-2 with four minutes left in the third, so Bobrovsky's focus may have wavered just a bit before the final horn. It's still a win in the books to begin Florida's Stanley Cup defense, and the 36-year-old figures to see a heavy workload again between the pipes in 2024-25, at least until Spencer Knight demonstrates he's ready for regular NHL action.

In goal Tuesday Bobrovsky will get the starting nod at home versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Impact Bobrovsky will guard the cage as the Panthers raise up their Stanley Cup championship banner Tuesday as he looks to continue his strong run of form from last season. During the playoffs, the veteran netminder went 16-8 with a 2.32 GAA and .906 save percentage in 24 contests. Bobrovsky has topped the 50-game mark in each of the last three seasons and should do so again this time around while also looking to reach the 35-win threshold for the third time in four years.

Steady in preseason win Bobrovsky made 26 saves in Saturday's preseason win over the Kings.
Impact He got beaten by Phillip Danault in the first period and Trevor Moore in the third, but the Panthers' offense gave Bobrovsky plenty of support in a 4-2 victory. The 36-year-old netminder is coming off his best campaign in years, posting a 2.37 GAA and .915 save percentage in 58 games before hoisting the Stanley Cup, but Bobrovsky hasn't played 60 or more regular-season games since he got to Florida in 2019-20, and that's unlikely to change in 2024-25.

Tending twine Saturday Bobrovsky will defend the visiting crease versus LA in Quebec City on Saturday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Bobrovsky will get in his final preseason game before Opening Night on Tuesday against the Bruins. Bobrovsky was outstanding last season, going 36-17-4 with a 2.37 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 58 regular-season appearances. He was 16-8 with a 2.32 GAA, leading the Panthers to the Stanley Cup in June. Look for a regression from the 36-year-old veteran, as it will hard to be repeat such a good season.

Guarding goal Monday Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease Monday in preseason action versus Tampa Bay, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Bobrovsky surrendered one goal on seven shots in 30:31 of playing time in a 6-2 exhibition victory over Nashville on Sept. 22. He may see action again in at least one of Florida's final two preseason contests before Opening Night on Oct. 8 versus Boston.

Tending twine Sunday Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease in Sunday's exhibition contest versus Nashville, according to Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.
Impact Bobrovsky posted a 36-17-4 record last season with a 2.37 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 58 appearances. He also went 24-16 with a 2.32 GAA and a .906 save percentage in the playoffs en route to winning the Stanley Cup.
