Bobrovsky is 1-1-1 with a 2.85 GAA and .913 SV% and is coming off a 4-0 loss in which he saved 24 of 28 shots that he faced. He'll take on a 2-2-1 Dallas squad tonight.
Bobrovsky appears to have won the starting job in Columbus over Steve Mason. He has been very good this season (1-0-1, 2.31 GAA, .934 SV%). The Blue Jackets have been playing better than people expected, if they continue this play Bobrovsky could be worth a fantasy look.
Bobrovsky isn't officially the #1 in Columbus yet but after making 32 saves in Nashville for the Shootout win, and now the Blue Jackets going back to him today.... Looks like he is well on his way. CBJ needs to keep winning to make Bobrovsky fantasy relevant, but keep an eye on him.
Bobrovsky earns the opening night start over Steve Mason
Neither goalie is a great fantasy option because Columbus doesn't figure to be very competitive this season. However Bobrovsky had one of the KHL's best G.A.A. during the lockout. So keep an eye on his numbers.
Currently, Bobrovsky is coming off of a sophomore slump as Bryzgalov's backup but Columbus offers a new opportunity for him in a starting role or as a platoon. Who that platoon could be with is still to be determined.
