Bobrovsky has limited the opposition to three or fewer goals in 13 straight games (11-2-0), boasting a sensational .942 SV%.

Bobrovsky will look to get back in the win column on Tuesday after his three-game win streak was snapped in a 2-1 loss to Philly his last time out. The 35-year-old should be in Vezina consideration at season-end as he's third in the NHL in Wins (31), second in GAA (2.29), and fifth in SV% (.918). He heads to Dallas Tuesday to take on the Stars, who are looking to extend a five-game win streak and are 2nd in the NHL in goals per game (3.62).

Barkov has eight points (3G / 5A) in his last six games and is expected to play on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. Newcomer Vladimir Tarasenko lined up on the first line with Barkov and Sam Reinhart on Saturday and the trio connected for three even-strength goals.

The two-time Vezina Trophy winner owns a 31-11-2record on the year and a .918 SV%. He draws another strong matchup on Thursday with the Panthers being -260 favourites over the Flyers.
