Reading that, Bobrovsky certainly fits the bill. Backstopping the Panthers to back-to-back trips to the Stanley Cup Final – including helping them hoist their first-ever Stanley Cup in 2024 – the two-time Vezina Trophy winner boasts a stellar 28-14 record with a .911 save percentage over the past two postseasons.

“I was really happy with that game tonight, I don’t know if you could tell,” said the Florida Panthers head coach, several minutes into a postgame press conference after a 2-1 shootout win over the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center on Tuesday night. As he should have been.

Bobrovsky stopped 28 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Jonatan Berggren, Dylan Larkin and Patrick Kane had power-play goals, but it was Marco Kasper's long range shot 1 minute, 57 seconds after Kane scored, at 15:41 of the second period, that gave the Wings a 4-2 lead and moved Florida to pull goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky (11 saves on 15 shots) with Spencer Knight.

The Utah Hockey Club had a rough start to their seven-game homestand after losing to the Florida Panthers 4-1 on Wednesday. However, Utah kept up with the defending Stanley Cup Champions throughout the contest.

Makes you wonder—do the Champs have to prove themselves anew each game? For games played against teams that they have to face only a couple of times a year, the answer would seem to be “Yes.” The Stanley Cup win against Edmonton back in June is the hallmark taken into account by every new opponent.

The Bruins have lost six consecutive games, with their last win dating back to Dec. 28 against the Blue Jackets.
