Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Loses close game in shootout

Bobrovsky stopped 34 of 37 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers.

Bobrovsky and the Panthers had a 2-0 lead early in the second frame, but the Rangers rallied back, scoring three goals in the last two periods to put the game into overtime. Although Bobrovsky was able to stop all four shots sent his way in the extra frame, he fell short of the win in the shootout. It was Bobrovsky's fourth loss in a row -- a rare cold spell in what's been a great campaign for the 35-year-old. Despite his recent hardships, he's still a reliable starting option with a high win potential and the ability to rack up shutouts.
