Bobrovsky turned aside 24 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
After getting beat by Alexis Lafreniere from in close early in the first period, Bobrovsky shut down the Blueshirts for the rest of the night. In the process, he became the fastest goalie in NHL history to get to 400 career wins, doing so in his 707th contest. Coincidentally, it was Rangers legend Henrik Lundqvist who held the old record of 727 games. Bobrovsky is the 14th netminder in history to reach the 400-win milestone, and he should move up the ranks quickly this season -- Hall of Famer Tony Esposito sits in 10th with 423. Bobrovsky is 4-2-1 to begin the current campaign with a 3.11 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Bobrovsky will tend the twine on the road against the Rangers on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky has already made six starts this season, posting a 3-2-1 record while sporting a career-worst 3.47 GAA. The veteran struggled in his most recent outing, getting the hook after allowing five goals on just 16 shots (.688 save percentage). A matchup with a Rangers squad that is scoring over five goals per game probably isn't the best way for Bobrovsky to get back on track.

Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 16 shots before being replaced by Spencer Knight to begin the third period of Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky's first crack at his 400th career win didn't go as planned, as the Panthers gave him very little help. The veteran netminder has had something of a bumpy start to the season, posting a 3-2-1 record with a 3.48 GAA and .875 save percentage, but reaching the milestone could be weighing on his mind. His next chance at No. 400 could come Thursday on the road against the Rangers, although it wouldn't be a shock if Knight got the nod between the pipes instead after Bobrovsky started the last three games.

Bobrovsky is expected to start at home against Minnesota on Tuesday, according to George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky is 3-1-1 with a 2.95 GAA and an .896 save percentage in five appearances this season. His next victory will be the 400th of his career -- just 13 other goaltenders have ever reached that milestone in the NHL. The Wild are in a three-way tie for 18th offensively with 3.00 goals per game.

Bobrovsky made 23 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The injury-plagued Panthers never held the lead during regulation, but Bobrovsky kept them in it until Gustav Forsling found the winner with just 17 seconds left in OT. The veteran netminder is 3-1-1 to begin the season with a 2.95 GAA and .896 save percentage, and Bob may not get a break until the defending Stanley Cup champs play back-to-back games in Finland against the Stars at the beginning of November as part of the Global Series.

Bobrovsky is slated to protect the home crease versus Vegas on Saturday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky is off to a 2-1-1 start with a 2.99 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Spencer Knight will see his fair share of starts this season, giving the 36-year-old Bobrovsky more time off and making him fresher for another playoff run. Vegas has scored 4.00 goals per game this season and could give Bobrovsky some trouble in Saturday's matchup.

Bobrovsky made 30 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Bobrovsky will be between the home pipes versus Vancouver on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Bobrovsky gave up three goals on 27 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
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 the second half of 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.
