Bobrovsky was helped off the ice with a lower-body injury Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning with 15:47 left in the third period. He was replaced by Curtis McElhinney.

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."

Bobrovsky starts vs. Tampa Bay.

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 goes vs. Preds.

Bobrovsky stopped all 18 shots that he faced in a 6-0 beat-down of the Maple Leafs on Monday night. It was Bob's first shutout of the season and eighth win to move him to 8-10-2. Tonight will be his first start vs. his former divisional foe after Columbus' move to the Eastern Conference. He was 4-1-0 with a 2.59 GAA and .921 SV% against the Predators last season.

Bobrovsky is the likely Blue Jackets starter.

Bobrovsky allowed six goals on 35 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Canucks on Friday. It was a tough outing for Bob, who's rough November continues. He is 3-4-2 with a 3.38 GAA and .889 SV% this month and will take on a good Maple Leafs team in Toronto tonight. He is 4-6-2 on the road this season.

Bobrovsky starts for the Blue Jackets.

Bobrovsky gave up three goals on 31 shots in his second straight OT loss on Thursday. He was given Friday night off, so he should be well rested and ready to bounce back on Sunday against the Senators. With Marian Gaborik sidelined for at least a month, things just got even more difficult for Goalie Bob. He is not as reliable as he was in 2012-13.

All signs are pointing towards Bobrovsky starting Thursday, but no confirmation.

Bobrovsky gave up four goals on 34 shots in an overtime loss to the Capitals on Tuesday. Bobrovsky has lost four of his last five starts and will be in tough Thursday when Columbus takes on the Bruins. His 2.84 GAA and .909 SV% do not have the look of a Vezina Trophy winner.
