Sergei Bobrovsky to Start in Net Monday Against Canucks

Sergei Bobrovsky will be the starting goaltender for the Florida Panthers at home against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday. Bobrovsky had an elite 2023-24 season, tying for first in shutouts (six), ranking third in wins (36) and GAA (2.37), and tied for seventh in save percentage (.915). He was instrumental in the Panthers' postseason success, earning 16 wins to secure the Stanley Cup and earning a Vezina Trophy nomination. Despite turning 36, Bobrovsky remains a top-tier goaltender, investing heavily in his health to maintain his elite status. Fantasy managers can expect him to be among the NHL's top five netminders. While his regular-season performance in 2022-23 saw a 3.07 GAA and .901 save percentage, his postseason run showcased his capabilities with a 2.78 GAA and .915 save percentage. He has consistently posted save percentages above .910 in previous seasons and is expected to be a strong bet for wins, though his secondary statistics may hover around league average. Bobrovsky's career includes two Vezina trophies and a history of strong performances, even when playing behind a developing defense.
