Bobrovsky made 21 saves on 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against New York in Game 4 of the series.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky was busy in the first period of Tuesday's win with 13 saves, but he only faced 10 more shots over the final 40 minutes. This was a result of Florida controlling the play over their opponent again -- it's the ninth time in the last 10 outings that Bobrovsky has faced less than 30 shots on goal. The 35-year-old netminder has a record of 10-5 with a 2.31 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 15 postseason appearances. Bob and the Panthers will be in New York on Thursday for Game 5.

Bobrovsky will guard the home crease Tuesday in Game 4 against the Rangers, per Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky has been solid thus far during this series against the Rangers, recording a .909 save percentage and allowing only seven goals in three games, though he gave up five in Game 3. The 35-year-old will perhaps need a stellar performance Tuesday for the Panthers to tie this series at two games apiece. He will have the home crowd in front of him for one of the biggest games in recent franchise history.

Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 23 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky didn't give the Panthers a great chance to win despite his teammates controlling the pace of the game. Alexis Lafreniere and Barclay Goodrow each scored twice during regulation, while Alexander Wennberg tallied the winning goal on Bobrovsky 5:35 into overtime. Through 14 playoff contests, Bobrovsky is 9-5 with a 2.31 GAA and a .903 save percentage, with this game being the first time in eight outings he allowed more than two goals. The 35-year-old goalie is at little risk of losing his starting job, so he should be expected between the pipes again for Tuesday's Game 4.

Bobrovsky made 28 saves on 30 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky was spectacular in Friday's loss but he was outdueled in net by New York's Igor Shesterkin. Surprisingly, Bobrovsky hadn't faced at least 30 shots since Game 5 of Florida's first-round series against Tampa Bay. The 35-year-old netminder also hasn't allowed more than two goals past him in seven consecutive contests. Bob is locked in at the right time, and he'll have a chance to bounce back in Game 3 on Sunday afternoon.

Bobrovsky posted a shutout on 23 shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky showed no signs of rust after a five-day hiatus in Wednesday's series-opening win. The Rangers only had 12 shots on goal through 40 minutes, but Bobrovsky stood tall in the final frame with a few timely saves. It was the 35-year-old netminder's fifth win in his last six games. Bob hasn't had many heavy workloads up until this point -- he's faced 30 or more shots on goal only twice this postseason through 12 contests. This is an indication of the level of structure and commitment to the defensive side of the game the Panthers are playing with in front of the Russian goaltender. So far this postseason, Bobrovsky is 9-3 with a 2.17 GAA and a .909 save percentage.

Bobrovsky will get the starting nod on the road against the Rangers in Game 1 on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky is sporting a 2.37 GAA and .902 save percentage in 11 postseason contests. The netminder is certainly getting plenty of offensive support, as the Panthers are scoring 3.55 goals per game in the postseason, the most of any team remaining in the playoffs. It figures to be a clash of backstops, as Bobrovsky will be squaring off with Igor Shesterkin on the other side.

Bobrovsky's exceptional performance was the backbone behind the Panthers' thrilling victory, making crucial saves in the dying moments to preserve the win. With a 2.03 GAA and a .907 save percentage over the six-game series, Bobrovsky's impressive run is a good sign for the Panthers as they face a confident Rangers team on the road in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday.
