Bobrovsky will start in Anaheim on Tuesday.

The Panthers shut out the Anaheim Ducks 3-0 with Spencer Knight between the pipes on Saturday, but the team will switch to Bobrovsky in a rematch on Tuesday. Bobrovsky has struggled lately, allowing four goals in three straight (0-2-1), posting an ugly .806 SV%. The 36-year-old netminder has a 2.86 GAA and .896 SV% in 31 games this season (18-11-2). The Panthers enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable -256 road favorites against a Ducks squad amid a three-game losing skid (0-2-1).

Schwindt played only 6:13 time-on-ice in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks and will not play on Monday due to a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old has seven points (0G / 7A) in 38 games this season. Alexander Holtz will draw into the lineup as Schwindt's replacement.

Ekblad will be a game-time decision vs. Boston on Saturday.

Ekblad returned from a one-game absence in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Utah Hockey Club but his status for Saturday's game against the Boston Bruins remains up in the air. The 28-year-old Ekblad is averaging 23:32 time-on-ice, his highest total in four seasons, recording 20 points (2G / 18A), 55 blocks, and 59 hits in 41 games this season.

Bobrovsky will start vs. Boston on Saturday.

The Panthers will roll with Bobrovsky for a third straight game on Saturday when they host the Boston Bruins. Despite an unspectacular 4-3-0 record in his last seven games, Bobrovsky has been tremendous between the pipes for the Panthers, allowing three or fewer goals in each contest and posting a terrific .940 SV%. The 36-year-old netminder has a 2.69 GAA and .903 SV% in 28 games this season (18-9-1).

Tarasov has been assigned to Cleveland (AHL) on a conditioning stint.

Tarasov has only played one game in the last month so he will spend some time in the AHL to get up to speed. In addition, Tarasov has struggled mightily in limited NHL action this season, posting a 4.23 GAA and .857 SV% in 10 games (3-6-1). Before this season, Tarasov was far more stable between the pipes, posting a 3.39 GAA and .905 SV% in 45 appearances (12-24-4). Columbus has recalled Jet Greaves in a corresponding move.
