Bobrovsky will start in Edmonton on Thursday.

Bobrovsky has had a disappointing 2025-26 season but seemed to be turning a corner after the Olympic break, posting a solid 2.21 GAA and .925 SV% in five games (3-2-0). However, his string of strong play abruptly ended on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 22 shots (.773 SV%) in a disappointing 5-2 loss to the league-worst Vancouver Canucks. The Panthers enter Thursday's game as +135 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team with points in three straight games (2-0-1).

Bobrovsky will start in Vancouver on Tuesday.

The Panthers have been more liberal with their goalie usage since returning from the Olympic break, which appears to be paying early dividends for Bobrovsky, who has struggled for most of the 2025-26 season. The 37-year-old veteran goalie saved 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 2-1 overtime win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. He has a solid 2.21 GAA and .925 SV% in his last five games (3-2-0). The Panthers enter Tuesday's contest as -150 road favourites against a Vancouver Canucks team that has scored only seven goals in its last four games (1-2-1).

Bobrovsky will start vs. Columbus on Thursday.

The Panthers have been more liberal with their goalie usage since returning from the Olympic break, which appears to be paying early dividends for Bobrovsky, who has struggled for most of the 2025-26 season. The 37-year-old veteran goalie saved 28 of 29 Shots (.966 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 3-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings, and has a 2.53 GAA and .914 SV% in four games since returning from the NHL stoppage. The Panthers enter Thursday's contest as slight -103 home underdogs against a Columbus Blue Jackets team with points in seven straight games (4-0-3).

Bobrovsky will start in Detroit on Friday.

Bobrovsky, an impending UFA, had his name swirl around trade rumours in recent days, but with the passing of the deadline, he remains a Panther and will be between the pipes on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 37-year-old Bobrovsky has had a poor 2025-26 season, but he has shown encouraging signs since returning from the Olympic break, posting a 3.05 GAA and .897 SV% in three games (1-2-0). The Panthers enter Friday's contest as +135 road underdogs against a Red Wings team coming off a disappointing 4-3 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Bobrovsky will start in New Jersey on Tuesday.

Bobrovsky had a poor showing in his previous outing, continuing a lackluster 2025-26 season by allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders. The veteran 37-year-old goalie has allowed three or more goals in eight of his last 10 starts (4-6-0). The Panthers enter Tuesday's action as -116 road favourites against a New Jersey Devils team that has struggled offensively, scoring three or fewer goals in nine straight games (2-7-0).

Bobrovsky will start vs. Toronto on Thursday.

Bobrovsky managed a winning 21-17-1 record before the Olympic break, but the Panthers will need him to elevate his game during their late-season push for a playoff spot. The 37-year-old veteran goalie lost four of 13 games (4-9-0) heading into the break, posting a dreadful 3.87 GAA and .831 SV%. Still, the Panthers enter Thursday's contest as -149 home favourites against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that played last night and lost 4-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Bobrovsky will start vs. Boston on Wednesday.

Bobrovsky's miserable season continued on Monday when he allowed five goals on 20 shots (.750 SV%) in a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. The 37-year-old Bobrovsky has lost eight of his last 11 games (3-8-0), posting an abysmal 3.83 GAA and .829 SV%. Still, the Panthers, desperate to climb back into the playoff race, enter Wednesday's contest as -134 home favourites against a Boston Bruins team with points in six straight games (4-0-2).

Bobrovsky will start vs. Buffalo on Monday.

Bobrovsky played well in his previous outing, saving 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%), but his inability to win games recently continued, as he lost 2-1 to the Winnipeg Jets. The 37-year-old Bobrovsky has lost seven of his last 10 outings (3-7-0), posting an ugly 3.73 GAA and .836 SV%. The Panthers enter the action on Monday as -111 home favourites against a red-hot Buffalo Sabres team that suffered a rare loss on Saturday, losing 4-2 to the Montreal Canadiens.

Bobrovsky will start vs. Utah on Tuesday.

Bobrovsky has struggled lately, but salvaged a victory in his most recent outing, saving 18 of 21 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild. The veteran 37-year-old goalie has a sub- .900 SV% in 12 consecutive games (6-6-0), posting an ugly 3.61 GAA and .849 SV%. That said, the Panthers enter the action on Tuesday as -150 home favorites against a Utah Mammoth team that failed to score in their 2-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning last night.

Bobrovsky will start vs. San Jose on Monday.

The Panthers hope the season debut of their leader, Matthew Tkachuk, can help them string together some consistent play, starting with their netminder, Sergei Bobrovsky. The 37-year-old Bobrovsky has allowed three or more goals in seven of his last eight games (3-5-0), which was highlighted by one of the worst performances of his career, allowing nine goals on 35 shots (.743 SV%) in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Panthers enter Monday's action as -176 home favorites against a San Jose Sharks team that has lost two of its last three games (1-2-0).

Bobrovsky will start in Carolina on Friday.

Bobrovsky has a serviceable 5-4-0 record in his last nine games, which has not come easily, as he has a concerning sub- .900 SV% in each of those games. The 37-year-old Bobrovsky has battled adversity all season, settling into a less-than-stellar 2.90 GAA and .881 SV% through 32 games (19-12-1). The Panthers enter Friday's contest as +146 road underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes team that they defeated 5-2 less than a month ago.

Bobrovsky will start in Buffalo on Monday.

Bobrovsky was serviceable in his most recent game, saving 17 of 19 shots (.895 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators, ending a streak where he had allowed three or more goals in five consecutive games (1-4-0). The 36-year-old Bobrovsky has a 2.90 GAA and .881 SV% in 31 games this season (18-12-1). The Panthers enter the action on Monday as +103 road underdogs against one of the NHL's hottest teams, the Buffalo Sabres, who are 13-1-0 in their last 14 games.
