Bobrovsky makes 1st start since being held out for incident

Sergei Bobrovsky is in the crease for the Columbus Blue Jackets against the New York Rangers on Sunday.

The star goalie was held out versus the Nashville Predators on Thursday for disciplinary reasons stemming from an unspecified incident. Bobrovsky rejoined the team Friday but served as the backup to Joonas Korpisalo in Saturday's overtime win over the Washington Capitals.

The two-time Vezina Trophy winner has endured a down season by his standards, posting an 18-13-1 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.87 goals-against average. Bobrovsky, 30, is set to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
