Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 29 shots in a win over the Sabres on Saturday. Bobrovsky looks like the guy who won the Vezina Trophy last season. He moved to 5-0 with a 1.74 GAA and .945 SV% since returning from his lower-body injury. He has a decent matchup against a Kings team who rank 23rd in the NHL in scoring (2.44 G/PG) and are coming off of a loss last night.
Bobrovsky allowed one goal on 27 shots in a 5-1 win over the Caps on Friday. He will go again tonight in the second game of the back-to-back vs. the Sabres. He is 4-0-0 with a 1.47 GAA and .955 SV% since returning to the Columbus crease. He should make for a great start and move to 5-0 in Buffalo tonight.
Bobrovsky stopped 26 of 28 shots in a win over the Lightning on Monday. He extended his winning streak to three games while posting a 1.62 GAA and .953 SV% after missing more than one month with a groin injury. Tonight he faces fellow Russian Olympian Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals, who Bob is 0-1-1 with a 3.95 GAA and .890 SV% against this season.
Bobrovsky stopped all 36 shots he faced to record his second shutout of the season on Friday. Bobrovsky has been excellent since returning from a groin injury, he is 2-0-0 while stopping 76 of 79 shots (.962 SV%). He will take on the Lightning for the second time this season, the first time around he stopped all 18 shots that he faced in 44 minutes before suffering a groin injury that cost him more than a month.
Bobrovsky stopped 40 of 43 shots in a shootout win over the Rangers on Monday. It was a great return after missing over a month with a lower-body injury. He will be in tough tonight against a Hurricanes team who has won five straight.

Bobrovsky will start his first game since December 3. He missed more than a month with a groin injury that he suffered in that contest. Before getting hurt he was 10-11-2 with a 2.72 GAA and .909 SV%, not quite the year you would expect from the reigning Vezina Trophy winner. He will face a Rangers team who beat him 4-2 on November 7.
Bobrovsky, 25, was placed on IR on December 4 with a strained groin sustained during Columbus’ 1-0 home win over Tampa Bay the previous night. He has missed the last 12 games as a result of the injury. In 23 appearances this season, Bobrovsky is 10-11-2 with a 2.72 goals-against-average and a .909 save percentage. He has also posted one shutout.
Bob has been practicing and suiting up for game action is a great sign. He'll be probably to return starting Jan 4 vs. the Blues.
If things go according to plan, though, he could be back on the ice in game action very soon. After traveling with the team to Raleigh last week and working with Blue Jackets goaltending coach Ian Clark, Bobrovsky took part in an optional practice on Monday at Nationwide Arena and put some hard work in with Clark and some teammates. His original prognosis in early December was a 4-5 week recovery that put him on track to return sometime in the new year.
Bobrovsky is not ready to dress for the Blue Jackets but is progressing well and appears to be on face to return next week. He has been out since December 3 with a lower-body injury.
Petry missed Tuesday's game with a head injury. He will return to the lineup tonight on the Oilers third pair with Anton Belov. He has two goals and four assists with a minus-10 rating in 30 games.
Petry will get back into the lineup tonight after being a healthy scratch for Thursday's game vs. the Avalanche. Head coach Dallas Eakins said he wanted to "reset" Petry who had struggled in recent games. Petry has two goals and four assists to go along with a minus-10 rating in 29 games this year. He will be paired with Martin Marincin.
Petry has two goals, four assists and a minus-10 rating in 29 games this season. He was a minus-2 in 17:28 in Monday's loss to the Coyotes. The Oilers are making a lot of changes tonight, Corey Potter and Phillp Larsen will draw in on D.
If Bobrovsky misses four weeks, he'll miss 12 games, if he misses five weeks, it'll be 15 games. This is a terrible break for last year's Vezina Trophy winner and the Blue Jackets who will have to turn to perennial back-up Curtis McElhinney as their number-1. Mike McKenna who was recalled today is expected to serve as McElhinney's backup.
Curtis McElhinney will start in Bobrovsky's place. Bobrovsky was injured while making a fantastic save in last night's 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Although he has not had the best first-third of the season, it would be a huge loss for the Blue Jackets if he is to miss an extended period of time.
Bobrovsky had just made his 18th stop - a glove save of a J.T. Brown breakaway while doing the splits -- when he stayed down for about a minute before being helped off the ice 4:13 into the third period. The 2012-13 Vezina Trophy winner will have an MRI on Wednesday. "I don't know if the answer we'll have tomorrow, but definitely in the next few days," head coach Todd Richards said. "We'll have a better idea."
The 2009 14th overall pick has struggled offensively this season posting one goal and two assists with a minus-9 rating in 27 games. Panthers head coach Peter Horachek says Kulikov "needs to be accountable". Kuli is disappointed does not think he was playing bad enough to be kicked out of lineup.
Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 27 shots in a win over the Oilers on Friday. He closed out November 5-5-2 with a 3.00 GAA and .896 SV%. It certainly is not the season that Bobrovsky had last season and he is now a matchup friendly play instead of a must-start like he was in the shortened campaign.
Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 29 shots in a loss to the Predators on Wednesday. He will get another crack at the Oilers after giving up four goals on 18 shots and being pulled in the second period. It is not the best matchup considering the Oilers have won four out of their last five while outscoring their opponents 19-8.
