Bobrovsky, the defending Vezina Trophy winner, left Columbus' game against the Tampa Bay Lightning with a little less than 16 minutes in the the third period. He made a glove save, slid backwards into the post, and needed help off the ice. He'd stopped all 18 Tampa Bay shots to that point.



Bobrovsky, 25, is 9-11-2 with a .906 save percentage and 2.81 goals-against. Columbus is 10-14-3 overall in its first season in the Eastern Conference. The Blue Jackets made a surprising, unsuccessful playoff push last season, largely because of Bobrovsky.
