Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 19 saves in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

The wins will still come, especially with Matthew Tkachuk (groin) nearing a return, but his ratios may not rebound to the previous seasons' levels.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Beaten four times in Winter Classic
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 15 of 19 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
The star goaltender was unable to deliver a strong showing in this highly anticipated matchup, and the four goals he allowed were the most since he conceded six in a loss to the Blue Jackets on Dec. 6. The lack of consistency has been an issue for Bobrovsky of late, as he's gone 2-2-0 in his last four games while posting a subpar .865 save percentage in that stretch.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Secures win Wednesday
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 27 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Bobrovsky won his second outing in a row, but this was a much more convincing effort than Saturday, when he allowed six goals on 31 shots. The 37-year-old can blame his defense for a pair of Dylan Guenther breakaway tallies in Wednesday's contest. Bobrovsky is up to 12-8-1 on the year with a 2.98 GAA and an .882 save percentage through 21 starts. The Panthers will likely turn to Daniil Tarasov for a tough matchup Thursday versus the Avalanche, but Bobrovsky should be ready to go for Saturday's road game in Dallas.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Stuck with tough OT loss
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 27 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Predators.
The two-time Vezina Trophy winner took a shutout into the third period after Carter Verhaeghe had given the Panthers a 1-0 lead in the first, but the lack of support eventually caught up to Bobrovsky.

Bobrovsky has gone four straight starts without getting into the win column, posting an 0-3-1 record during that skid, and since the beginning of November he's gone 5-5-1 in 11 outings with a 3.23 GAA and .875 save percentage.
