Anthony Stolarz will start in net for the Florida Panthers on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens.
Stolarz is 4-3-1 with a .915 save percentage and a 2.18 goals-against average in eight starts.
He allowed two or fewer goals in four of his past five starts.
“You look at the way Bobby has been playing and he has been awesome,” Stolarz said after making 17 saves in a 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
“And as the backup, you have to know your role and you have to be ready. I enjoy that challenge, enjoy when my name gets called. When that happens, I want to perform well. The attitude does not change. When you have a competitor like Bobby on the other end of the ice, you want to match his shot-for-shot. I think that makes it a great relationship. We just feed off each other.”
Jake Allen will start in net for the Montreal Canadiens.
He is 4-6-2 with a .904 save percentage and a 3.43 goals-against average.
