Bobrovsky stopped 15 of 17 shots (.882 SV%) as Florida took a 2-1 series lead in Game 3 and will be back between the pipes on Sunday for Game 4 in Boston. The 35-year-old has won most of his playoff starts this season despite his shaky play, with his 6-2-0 record, 2.62 GAA and .892 SV%. He will look to take a commanding 3-1 lead as Florida heads to Boston, to take on the Bruins, who have won two of their last seven playoff games.
Bobrovsky will look to bounce back after allowing four goals on 28 shots against (.857 SV%) in the Panthers' opening game 4-1 loss to Boston. The 35-year-old has enjoyed an up-and-down playoff so far, with his 4-2-0 record, 3.00 GAA and .890 SV%.

Bobrovsky and the Panthers handled fellow state rival Tampa Bay fairly easy with a 4-1 opening series lead and will hope to take an early advantage over Boston as they host the Bruins for Game 1 on Monday. Despite the opening series success, Bobrovsky's playoff numbers this year are only so-so as he sports a 2.78 GAA and .896 SV% to go along with his 4-1-0 record. He will host the Boston Bruins on Monday, who are buzzing after coming off a 2-1 overtime Game 7 victory over their rival, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Matthews has missed the last two games with an undisclosed ailment but took part in Saturday's morning skate and could return to the lineup for Game 7. According to head coach Sheldon Keefe, Matthews is "progressing," but there's been "no determination" on whether he will play in Game 7.
Matthews missed Game 5 after he was a game-time decision originally and did not skate with the team after taking part in a personal skate on Thursday. He will be out for Game 6 with hopes to return if Toronto can stay alive. The 26-year-old sniper scored 69 goals during the regular season and has a goal, two assists, 17 SOG and two PIMs in four playoff games played this year.
