Sergei Bobrovsky’s shutout, combined with goals from Jonah Gadjovich, Evan Rodrigues, and Mackie Samoskevich, helped lead the Florida Panthers to a 3-0 victory over the Calgary Flames. Bobrovsky made 23 saves for his 47th career shutout in a game where Dan Vladar stopped 39 shots for the Flames. This win marks Florida’s eighth victory in their last 10 games as they prepare to face Tampa Bay next. Calgary, on the other hand, has been shut out in back-to-back games for the first time since 2019.
Notably, the Panthers were without Matthew Tkachuk due to a lower-body injury sustained during a tournament. This win also broke a streak for Calgary, as both Florida and Tampa Bay shut them out in their season visits to the Sunshine State. The Panthers celebrated Kids Day by having players’ children on the ice for the pregame anthems.
While the game itself was significant, an emotional moment came during a welcome-back video for Flames forward Ryan Lomberg, commemorating his role in Florida’s Stanley Cup win. Lomberg received a warm ovation from the crowd. A notable statistic was Florida’s first 11 goals since a break being scored by 11 different players, a streak that was broken by Samoskevich’s late goal in this game.
Looking ahead, Calgary will visit Carolina next, while Florida continues their homestand with a matchup against Tampa Bay. The Panthers are poised to continue their strong performance as they chase a playoff spot in the coming weeks.
