The Florida Panthers will welcome the Columbus Pittsburgh Penguins to FLA Live Arena for an NHL game on Thursday. The Panthers won 4-0 against the Blue Jackets in their last game. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 22 shots, and the Florida Panthers beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-0 on Tuesday night. The Panthers got goals from Brandon Montour, Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart as they halted a two-game skid.
Bobrovsky had struggled in November and lost his starting job to Spencer Knight late last month in a loss to the Blue Jackets. But with Knight out with illness, Bobrovsky has played well in his past four starts, allowing one goal or fewer in two of them. “I don’t think that way,’’ Bobrovsky said when asked if it was special getting a shutout against the Jackets. “You prepare for the game, prepare for the next shot and see what happens. I approach every game one shot at a time and see what happens. Sometimes you win and sometimes you get a loss. But it definitely feels good to get a win.”
The Penguins on the other hand won 2-1 against the Stars in their last game. Evgeni Malkin’s flip into an essentially open net with 34 seconds remaining provided the difference. The Russian star pounced on a loose puck just in front of the Dallas crease and fired it by sprawled goaltender Jake Oettinger for the 79th game-winning goal of his career.
Malkin’s ninth goal of the year came after Bryan Rust’s shot attempt from in close was poke-checked away. When Rust’s momentum carried him into Oettinger, Malkin had all the space he needed to make sure the game didn’t go to overtime. “I know I have couple chances (earlier in the game),” Malkin said. “I almost have breakaway. I know it’s coming. (I just had to be patient) and use my chance.”
