Bobrovsky will start Game 2 in Tampa Bay on Thursday.

The Panthers commandingly took Game 1 from the Tampa Bay Lightning, defeating them 6-2, aided by a 20-save performance from Bobrovsky (.909 SV%). The 36-year-old Bobrovsky improves to 46-43 in his playoff career, posting a 2.84 GAA and .905 SV%. Still, the Panthers enter Game 2 as slightly +106 road underdogs against a Lightning team desperately trying to tie the series.

Bobrovsky will start Game 1 in Tampa Bay.

As expected, the Panthers will hand their franchise netminder the opening start of their round one series against the Lightning. It's been eight days since Bobrovsky's last start, so the 36-year-old netminder should be well rested heading into Tuesday's series opener. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner finished the regular season with a 33-19-2 record and a .905 SV%. The Panthers enter action on Tuesday at an even +100 on the money line.
