Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Gets hook in Stanley Cup rematch
Rotowire
Bobrovsky gave up four goals on 13 shots before being replaced by Daniil Tarasov early in the second period of Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.
Jack Roslovic snuck a puck past Bobrovsky from a sharp angle just 25 seconds into the first period, and it was all downhill from there for the two-time Vezina Trophy winner. Bobrovsky will get a chance to reset, as Tarasov has already been announced as Monday's starter in Nashville, which will likely put the Panthers' No. 1 goalie back between the pipes at home Wednesday against the Flyers. On the season, Bobrovsky has a 10-6-0 record in 16 outings, but a 2.80 GAA and .887 save percentage that are below his usual standards.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Blanks Devils for second shutout
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 31 saves in Thursday's 1-0 win over New Jersey.
Sam Reinhart gave the Panthers a lead midway through the first period, and it was all the offense Bobrovsky would need in a dazzling performance. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner has two shutouts on the season and 51 for his career as he closes in on cracking the all-time top 25, and while Bobrovsky's had a couple rough outings in November, over his last eight starts he's gone 6-2-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .892 save percentage.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: In goal Thursday
Rotowire
Bobrovsky will get the starting nod at home versus the Devils on Thursday.
Despite giving up five goals on 15 shots (.667 save percentage), Bobrovsky picked up his ninth win of the season against the Canucks on Monday. The veteran backstop trails Colorado's Scott Wedgewood (11) and Anaheim's Lukas Dostal (10) in victories this season. A clash with a banged-up New Jersey squad, which will be without Jack Hughes (finger), sets Bobrovsky up well to secure his 10th win of the year.

Rotowire
Bobrovsky turned aside 10 shots in Monday's 8-5 win over the Canucks.
Florida outshot the visitors 41-15 on the night, but Vancouver's chances all came in high-danger areas as Bobrovsky's defense hung him out to dry on a number of occasions. Fortunately for the veteran netminder, the Panthers' offense set a new season scoring high. Bobrovsky has faced fewer than 20 shots in four of his last eight starts, but he's just 5-3-0 during that stretch with a shaky 3.27 GAA and .856 save percentage.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Rough outing in Anaheim
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 25 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Ducks.
The seven goals against were a season high for Bobrovsky, though he's given up at least three goals in five of his last six starts. He's likely lucky to be 3-3-0 in that span, but there was no fortune to be found for him in Tuesday's contest, as the Ducks potted multiple goals in each period. Bobrovsky dropped to 6-4-0 on the year with a 2.82 GAA and an .883 save percentage through 10 starts. The Panthers' next game is at Los Angeles on Thursday. With no back-to-back sets during this road trip out west, it's unclear if Bobrovsky will be rested for any of the next three games.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Tends shutout Saturday
Rotowire
Bobrovsky saved all 17 shots he faced in Saturday's 3-0 shutout win over the Golden Knights.
Bobrovsky's first shutout of the season not only helped him secure his fifth win but also came against one of the league's hottest offenses in Vegas, making the outing even more impressive. Saturday's win was a bounce-back performance in a big way for Bobrovsky, who was coming off his worst outing of the year after surrendering five goals to Pittsburgh. The 37-year-old twine protector is up to a 5-3-0 record, a 2.28 GAA and a .903 save percentage through eight appearances this season. Bobrovsky is a safe netminder play in all fantasy formats as the clear No. 1 option between the pipes for the reigning Stanley Cup Champions.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Earns win over Boston
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 28 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.
Bobrovsky bounced back after losing his previous two starts, at Detroit and Buffalo, and ended the road trip on a high note in terms of results. That said, he's posted a save percentage below .910 in each of his past three appearances and is coming off back-to-back games where he's allowed at least three goals. His next chance to snap that run will come at home against the Penguins on Thursday, a matchup that figures to be favorable for Bobrovsky on paper.
