Bobrovsky will start Friday vs. the Sabres.

Bobrovsky stopped 29 of 32 shots (.906 SV%) for his third win in four games as he beat Anaheim in his last start. The 34-year-old has had an up-and-down season but still has Florida just outside of a playoff spot due to his 17-15-2 record, 3.12 GAA and .902 SV%. He takes on the Buffalo Sabres, who have won three of their last four games after a 6-5 overtime win over Tampa Bay yesterday.

Bennett (undisclosed) is questionable to play Monday vs. the Ducks.

According to Panthers' head coach Paul Maurice, Bennett is more likely to play Friday than Monday, so expect him to sit out a third straight game when the Panthers take on the Ducks. This means Eetu Luostarinen should remain in the top-6 for at least one more game.
