Bobrovsky sets career high in wins with shutout vs. Wild
Russell LaBounty-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
Sergei Bobrovsky hit a new personal best with a perfect game against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.
The Columbus Blue Jackets netminder turned away all 38 shots thrown his way to pick up his fourth shutout and 33rd win of the season, beating his previous mark of 32, set during the 2013-14 season.
He also tied Braden Holtby to move within one win of Devan Dubnyk - who occupied the opposing net Thursday - for the league lead in wins.
With 33 down and another 20 games left, he appears well on his way to obliterating his previous record.
