BOB SPLITS FOR THE SAVE

Sergei Bobrovsky is a great regular season goaltender, but something happens in the postseason and “Playoff Bob” shows up. One impressive stretch came against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2025 Eastern Conference Second Round when Bobrovsky broke John Vanbiesbrouck’s nearly 30-year-old team record with 143:25 of shutout hockey, leading the Panthers to three crucial wins to turn an 0-2 hole into a 3-2 series lead. “Every moment is a big moment, so you don’t know how it is going to turn up,” Bobrovsky said after his Game 5 win. “You’re just trying to focus on one shot, one moment and that’s pretty much it. I think [our team] did a great job. They played a good game, simple, strong, hard as a unit, as five guys. It was a good win for us.”
