Bobrovsky (FLA) will start Game 6 vs. Toronto on Friday.

Bobrovsky will unsurprisingly start his 11th straight playoff game on Friday as Florida tries to close out Toronto in Game 6. The 36-year-old netminder had his second straight shutout bid in Game 5 broken late by a Nicolas Robertson goal, but still excelled, stopping 31 of 23 shots (.969 SV%) in the win. He will host the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are looking to extend the series to a Game 7 and make it beyond the 2nd round for the first time in over 20 years.

Bobrovsky will be hoping to lead the Panthers to a third straight victory over the Maple Leafs when they travel to Toronto on Wednesday. Bobrovsky turned in what was easily his best performance of the series in Game 4, stopping all 23 shots he faced in a 2-0 shutout victory. The Panthers enter action on Wednesday at -135 on the money line.

Bobrovsky will start Game 4 vs. Toronto on Sunday.

It comes as no surprise that Sergei Bobrovsky will start a ninth consecutive playoff game on Sunday as he hosts the Toronto Maple Leafs for Game 4. The 36-year-old Russian netminder has had a less-than-desirable playoffs thus far, with his 5-3-0 record, 2.94 GAA and .875 SV%. He will look to even the series at two as Florida welcomes the Toronto Maple Leafs for Game 4, who are averaging 3.5 goals per game in the playoffs so far.

Bobrovsky will start Game 3 against the Maple Leafs.

Bobrovsky has uncharacteristically struggled through the opening two games of the second round as he and the Panthers find themselves in an 0-2 hole. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner allowed four goals in Game 2, stopping just 16 of the 20 shots he faced. The sportsbooks inevitably like Bob's odds of bouncing back on Friday, as the Panthers enter action at -225 on the money line.

Stolarz (concussion) won’t travel to Florida with Toronto and is considered doubtful for Game 3 on Friday.

Stolarz was unable to play in Toronto's Game 2 victory over Florida due to a concussion and announced Thursday that he will not initially travel for Game 3, making him doubtful for Friday. The 31-year-old had won four of his first seven starts in the playoffs (left one for injury) and is hopeful to return before the end of the series. Joseph Woll will continue to hold down the fort in his absence.

Bobrovsky will start Game 2 in Toronto on Wednesday.

Bobrovsky struggled in Game 1 vs. Toronto after allowing five goals on 30 shots against (.833 SV%) but will look to bounce back on Wednesday for Game 2. The 36-year-old had a sensational regular season campaign, with a 33-19-2 record, 2.44 GAA and .906 SV% across 54 appearances. He will face the surging Toronto Maple Leafs on the road on Wednesday, who are averaging 3.4 goals per game throughout the playoffs.

Stolarz (concussion) has a possibility to return before the end of Round 2.

After a collision with Sam Bennett, Stolarz was pulled from Game 1 due to concussion protocol and will remain out for Game 2 on Wednesday. The 31-year-old is hopeful to return by the end of the series but will have Matt Murray fill in his role in the meantime. Across 7 games played in the playoffs thus far, he has a solid 2.19 GAA and .901 SV%.

Bobrovsky will start Game 1 in Toronto.

After besting their state rivals in just five games, the Panthers will of course stick with Bobrovsky between the pipes for the opening game of their second round matchup against the Maple Leafs. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner dropped just a single game and posted a .904 SV% in round one, including a 26-save, series clinching effort in Game 5 on Wednesday. The reigning Stanley Cup champions enter action on Monday at -125 on the money line.

Stolarz will start Game 1 against the Panthers.

Stolarz was solid for the Maple Leafs in their round-one victory over the Ottawa Senators. He will return to the crease for Game 1 of Round 2 on Monday against his former team, the Florida Panthers. The 31-year-old Stolarz had a couple of shaky outings in round one but settled into a 2.21 GAA and .901 SV% in six contests (4-2). Despite having home-ice advantage and playing Game 1 in Toronto, the Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as +112 underdogs against a Panthers team that beat them in five games in the second round in the 2022-23 playoffs.
