Columbus looking to Sergei Bobrovsky to keep their season alive
The Columbus Blue Jackets are starting Sergei Bobrovsky in goal in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
What It Means:
Despite a brilliant regular season-- where Bobrovsky led the NHL with a 2.06 goals-against average (GAA) and a .931 save percentage (SV%) -- the Columbus netminder has struggled in the series. He has allowed 15 goals on 138 shots for a 3.61 GAA and .891 SV% against the Pens.
numberFire's models project Bobrovsky for 2.6 goals allowed, 29.4 saves and a 45.0 percent chance of extending the Blue Jackets' season.
