With just five seconds remaining in Game 4 of the 2023 Eastern Conference Final, Matthew Tkachuk scored a brilliant power-play goal to give the Panthers a 4-3 win — and complete a sweep of the Carolina Hurricanes to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. It was Tkachuk’s second goal of the night, fourth goal of […]

As a two-time Vezina Trophy recipient as the NHL’s best goaltender, Sergei Bobrovsky was no stranger to winning. On April 15, 2022, he made 30 saves as the Panthers beat the Winnipeg Jets for his franchise-record 36th win of the season. Bob bested Roberto Luongo’s old mark of 35 wins set in 2005-2006. “It’s a […]

Sergei Bobrovsky’s second mask in his first season with the Panthers continued the netminder’s usual brick-wall theme, this time with the team’s official logo right on top. And in case there was any confusion about who the mask belongs to, Bobrovsky’s name and number are right there on the chin guard.

Sergei Bobrovsky was one of the most exciting Panthers acquisitions of the 2019 offseason. Bob arrived in South Florida with 9 seasons of proven success, posting a 255-153-37 record with 33 shutouts and a .919 save percentage. Besides his skill, Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said the team signed Bob for his durability. That quality […]

On February 10, 2020, Sergei Bobrovsky minded the net for the 500th time in his career. The veteran was then just the 75th goaltender in NHL history to reach the 500-game milestone (Semyon Varlamov would become no. 76 a year later.) During that span, Bobrovsky posted an impressive 275-169-42 record and earned the Vezina Trophy […]

In less than a full season guarding the net for the Cats, Sergei Bobrovsky debuted three different custom masks. Like the other two masks that came before it, the details of this look from February 2020 were painted on a brick wall, but this time the team’s secondary logo got center stage.

This Sergei Bobrovsky mask was custom painted by artist David Gunnarsson for the goalie’s first season with the Cats. Gunnarsson titled the look, “Brick by Brick: Panthers Edition” and we can see why. For years Bobrovsky has used a brick design to represent the fact that he’s a brick wall in front of the net. […]

After Sergei Bobrovsky played his 500th game on February 10, 2020, the Panthers planned a celebration to honor his becoming just the 75th netminder in NHL history to reach the milestone.
