What It Means:

Bobrovsky and the Blue Jackets have been on a roll as the netminder has won his past eight starts while Columbus has victories in 11-of-12 games. Their last loss was on November 26. Bobrovsky is 7-0-0 during the month of December with a 1.57 goals-allowed average and a .937 save percentage.

Despite all the winning, our models have Bobrovsky as the 15th-of-20 goalie options on Thursday with projections of 2.8 goals allowed, 26.5 saves and a 43.0 percent chance of winning versus the high-powered Penguins.
