Bobrovsky is the Blue Jackets projected starter on Friday.

Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Canucks on Tuesday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Bob. The 27-year-old netminder has a tough matchup in Pittsburgh tonight—he has gone 4-4-0 with a 2.78 GAA and .913 SV% on the road this season.

Bobrovsky will start Tuesday vs. the Canucks.

Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Blue Jackets win in Los Angeles last Thursday. Bobrovsky has won two in a row while stopping 72 of 76 shots (.947 SV%). Bobrovsky’s season is starting to come together under head coach John Tortorella. He makes for a decent start tonight against a Canucks team who have lost three in a row.

Tavares (illness) will play on Thursday vs. the Canadiens.

Tavares missed the last three games with an illness but will be back in the lineup tonight in Montreal. The Islanders scored just five goals in the three games without Tavares, but they will get their captain back this evening. He has 11 points (5G / 6A) in 10 games this season and should be activated in all formats.

Bobrovsky gets the nod Tuesday in San Jose.

Bobrovkst was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Jets last Saturday. He started both games of the back-to-back so it wasn’t surprising to see him struggle in his second game in as many nights. He comes into Saturday with two wins, a 2.80 GAA and .900 SV% in his last five starts.

Tavares (illness) skated this morning but will not play on vs. the Devils.

Tavares will miss his third consecutive game with an illness. Despite not play tonight, it was a good sign that Tavares was able to take part in the Islanders’ morning skate. Monitor his status prior to Thursday’s game in Montreal.

John Tavares
Tavares (illness) is expected to be out for “a little bit.”

Tavares missed both games this weekend and Monday’s practice. Head coach Jack Capuano said after the session that Tavares is still very sick and that he doesn’t “expect him [back] for a little bit.” It seems highly unlikely that Tavares will be available for Tuesday’s game vs. New Jersey.

Bobrovsky will start Saturday vs. the Jets.

Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Capitals last night. Since the Blue Jackets hired John Tortorella, Bobrovsky has gone 2-2-0 with a 2.28 GAA and .917 SV%. He is a sketchy start tonight on the second game of a back-to-back, vs. a Winnipeg team that ranks seventh in scoring.

Bobrovsky starts Friday vs. the Capitals.

Bobrovsky stopped 23 of 24 shots in the Blue Jackets win in New Jersey on Tuesday. After starting the season with six straight losses, Bobrovsky has rebounded with back-to-back wins while making 54 saves on 58 shots (.931 SV%). Despite his recent success, he is a scary play tonight in Washington.

Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 34 in the Blue Jackets win over the Avalanche on Saturday. Bobrovsky finally won his first game of the season and now sits at 1-6-0 with a 4.45 GAA and .852 SV%. Despite his early season struggles, he looked sharp on Saturday and draws another great matchup tonight vs. the Devils.
