‘Bob’s’ Mastery Over Toronto Continues With Another Win

The Florida Panthers and their goalie Sergei Bobrovsky are a riddle that the Toronto Maple Leafs can’t seem to solve.

The Panthers (2-2-0) downed the Maple Leafs 3-1 Thursday to give them a 6-1-1 record against Toronto in their last eight meetings. That includes a five-game knockout of the Maple Leafs in the playoffs a few months ago. The Panthers have held the Maple Leafs to two or fewer goals in all eight of those matchups.

Bobrovsky made 29 saves to fuel Thursday’s triumph against a Toronto team (2-2-0) that boasts a collection of premium scorers. It was Bob’s 107th win in a Panthers jersey, allowing him to pass John Vanbiesbrouck for second place on the franchise list for goalie wins. Roberto Luongo leads with 230.

Earlier in the week, Bobrovsky made 31 saves to spark the Panthers to a 4-3 win against the New Jersey Devils.

The Panthers reached the Stanley Cup Final last season where they lost to the Vegas Golden Knights. But they started this season with top defensemen Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour on the long-term injured list.

Toronto’s Auston Matthews was kept off the scoreboard for the second consecutive game after netting hat tricks in each of his first two games. The Panthers limited Toronto to just seven shots on goal in the third period.

Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson and center Kevin Stenlund each scored their first goals in a Panthers uniform, while Sam Bennett contributed a goal and an assist. The Panthers signed Ekman-Larsson for one year at $2.25 million this summer after the Vancouver Canucks bought out his contract.

✌️ Cam Atkinson scores pair of goals, Flyers shut down Oilers 4-1. The 34-year-old forward has returned to the Flyers lineup with vengeance, co-leading the team with 3 goals through four games. The crafty winger tipped home an Owen Tippett feed four minutes into the 2nd before scoring a silky breakaway goal just over 4 minutes into the 3rd. Joel Farabee and Sean Walker added goals for the Flyers and Carter Hart made 22 saves as the Flyers handed the Oilers their third loss in four games. Read more →

🐙 Vince Dunn & Oliver Bjorkstrand lead Kraken to 1st win of the season, defeat Hurricanes 7-4. The Kraken came out firing on all cylinders thanks to goals from Yanni Gourde, Jaden Schwartz, and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare in the opening period. Dunn and Bjorkstrand each tallied a goal and two assists, Jared McCann scored in the 3rd and Tye Kartye buried his 1st regular season NHL goal 21 seconds later. Andre Burakovsky and Will Borgen collected two assists while Kraken netminder Joey Daccord recorded 36 saves. Read more →
