Get to Know a Panther: Sergei Bobrovsky

Birthplace: Novokuznetsk, USSR | Acquired: Free Agent; Signed: July 1, 2019

Assets: Tracks the puck very well when he is on top of his game. Has good quickness and athleticism for the goaltending position. Does not let a lot bother him, on the surface.

Flaws: Needs to continue to work on his confidence, which tends to waver from time to time. Also, he does not always communicate well enough with his defensemen.

Career Potential: Excellent but inconsistent goaltender.
