Matt Duchene“He’s a hell of a goalie,” coach John Tortorella said Monday. “He’s found his game at a very important time.” It has been a rollercoaster season mentally not just for Bobrovsky but the entire Blue Jackets team.

Somehow, for a goaltender with just two doughnuts before Christmas, Bobrovsky now has a league-best nine shutouts on the season. He is one away from tyingWith Bobrovsky allowing just four goals against, the Blue Jackets have won five in a row at exactly the right time.
