Sergei Bobrovsky hits major milestone, moving into 10th on NHL all-time wins list
Just like a great hit song, Sergei Bobrovsky just keeps climbing up the charts.
On Thursday night in Toronto, the Florida Panthers veteran goaltender hit another milestone while helping the Cats to their latest victory.
Bobrovsky stopped 23 shots en route to a 3-2 Panthers victory.
The win was Florida’s 41st of the season and give them a four-point cushion atop the Atlantic Division.
It was also the 424th victory in Bobrovsky’s incredible career.
The win placed Bobrovsky in sole possession of 10th place on the NHL’s all-time wins list, moving him past legendary goaltender Tony Esposito.
Bobrovsky now trails the ninth place tendie, Jacques Plante, by 13 wins.
Looking over the list, it’s basically all Hall of Famers. The only non-member of the HHOF anywhere near Bobrovsky (aside from fellow active goalies Marc-Andre Fleury and Jonathan Quick) are Curtis Joseph (seventh-most wins) and Chris Osgood (Fifteenth-most wins).
Joseph is exactly 30 wins ahead of Bobrovsky. Ed Belfour, who holds the fifth-most wins in NHL history, is 60 ahead of Bob.
“He just totally fits our team,” said Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice. “There's a calm with him in the net for us, and if he gives up one he doesn't like, he usually doesn't give up two.”
It remains to be seen how much gas the 36-year-old has left in the tank, but Bobrovsky has shown no signs of slowing down in recent seasons.
He’s in amazing shape and it wouldn’t surprise many should he remain one of the top goalies in the NHL for another few years.
Bobrovsky has one year remaining on the seven-year, $70 million deal he signed with Florida all the way back in 2019.
What he does after that yet to be discussed.
Between now and then, however, a run at another Stanley Cup or two isn’t out of the question.
We shall see.
