Horrific in second start of series Bobrovsky was pulled after allowing five goals on 14 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay in Game 4.
Impact Bobrovsky and backup Chris Driedger have been in and out of the Cats' net due to poor play, with the former having gotten first crack as the starter. After replacing Driedger to help seal the deal in Game 3 for the Panthers, Bobrovsky made just nine saves in this contest and factored into his team reaching the precipice of elimination heading into Monday night's Game 5. In his two starts in the series, the Russian has allowed 10 goals on 54 shots.

Tending twine Saturday Bobrovsky will guard the cage on the road for Game 4 against Tampa Bay on Saturday, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports.
Impact Bobrovsky saw the starting role for Games 2 and 3 go to Chris Driedger but made a perfect relief appearance against the Lightning on Thursday, stopping all nine of the shots he faced and helping the Panthers secure an overtime victory. He'll need to continue to be at his best against the Bolts' high-powered offense.

Successful in relief Bobrovsky stopped all nine shots he faced in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over Tampa.
Impact Coming in to relieve Chris Driedger at the start of the third period, Bobrovsky was stellar enough to stop all nine shots and held the fort down in overtime for the Panthers. Starting in Game 1, Bobrovsky was replaced by Driedger to start both Games 2 and 3, but tough performances from the 27-year-old could open the door for Bobrovsky to start Game 4 on Saturday.

Leaks five goals Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 40 shots in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Lightning in Game 1.
Impact Bobrovsky twice had one-goal leads to protect, only to allow a pair each time. Brayden Point scored twice in the third period Sunday to stick Bobrovsky with the loss. The Russian netminder was alright this season with a 2.91 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 31 outings, but Chris Driedger or Spencer Knight could get a look if Bobrovsky has another game or two like Sunday.

Gets Game 1 nod Bobrovsky will start Sunday's Game 1 against the Lightning.
Impact Bobrovsky will get first crack at the Panthers' net in the postseason, but he'll be on a short leash with the capable Chris Driedger and Spencer Knight both waiting in the wings. Despite posting a forgettable 3.32 GAA and .879 save percentage in five regular-season matchups with Tampa Bay, Bobrovsky was carried to a 3-2 record by Florida's potent offense.

Finally sharp Bobrovsky made 28 saves in a 5-1 win over the Lightning on Saturday.
Impact Bob was sharp and he needed to be given his recent scuffles. The 10-million-dollar man has failed to live up to that contract and while he's likely the top kitty in the litter box when the postseason begins, Bobrovsky will get scooped out if he falters then. Spencer Knight has been a strong surprise and Chris Driedger has proven he's a step above this season, and the Panthers won't be patient with Bob if he can't perform. This team as a shot to emerge from its division and coach Joel Quenneville won't let a wobbly Bobby stop that from happening.

Starting Saturday Bobrovsky (rest) will patrol the crease for Saturday's game against the Lightning, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports.
Impact Bobrovsky received a day off to rest Monday but will be back between the pipes Saturday. The 32-year-old is 18-8-2 with a .904 save percentage and 2.97 GAA in 30 appearances this season. He's 2-2-0 with a .854 save percentage against the lethal Lightning offense this season.

Won't dress Monday Bobrovsky will be given the night off versus Dallas on Monday, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports.
Impact With the emergence of Spencer Knight and Bobrovsky floundering -- he's given up 13 goals on 95 shots in his last four appearances -- coach Joel Quenneville will use Monday's contest to let his $10 million netminder get some added rest. With Bobrovsky on the sidelines, Knight will start while Philippe Desrosiers serves as the No. 2. While Bobrovsky figures to still be the preferred starter for the postseason, he'll likely be on a very short leash and could see Knight or Chris Driedger (once healthy) steal the starting job.

Holds on for win Saturday Bobrovsky made 31 saves on 35 shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Bobrovsky needed to protect a three-goal lead for the last 19 minutes of the game. He made it interesting but ultimately held on for the win. The Russian goalie has an 18-8-2 record with a 2.97 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 30 appearances. Bobrovsky has been sharing the net with Spencer Knight while Chris Driedger (lower body) recovers from injury.

Tasked with Saturday start Bobrovksy will start Saturday against the Blackhawks, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports.
Impact Bobrovsky's last outing was a disastrous one, as he was pulled after allowing four goals on 21 shots in a 7-4 loss to Nashville on Tuesday. He'll look to get back on track against a middling Blackhawks squad that's scored eight goals in their last three games.

Yields four goals before hook Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 21 shots in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
Impact Bobrovsky left the game after two periods -- Spencer Knight played in the third and backstopped the Panthers' comeback win. The 32-year-old Bobrovsky's record remains at 17-8-2 with a 2.94 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 29 outings. The Russian goalie will likely be the Panthers' No. 1 option in net with Chris Driedger (lower body) out for at least a week.

Starting in Nashville Bobrovsky will man the road crease Tuesday in Nashville, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Bobrovsky stopped all 11 shots he faced in relief of the injured Chris Driedger (lower body) Monday, and he'll get a shot at a full game against the Predators one day later. The 32-year-old Russian will have to deal with a hot Nashville offense that's scored 16 goals to lead the Predators to a 3-0-1 record over their last four games.
