In the 2024-25 season, Stolarz was among the best goalies in the NHL, finishing with an outstanding 2.14 GAA and .926 SV% in 34 outings (21-8-3). However, in his second season with the Maple Leafs, he has struggled to rediscover that elite form. The 31-year-old netminder will return to the crease on Tuesday, aiming to improve on a 3.35 GAA and .889 SV% through 12 games (6-5-1). The Maple Leafs, entering Tuesday as -136 road favorites, face a Boston Bruins team that beat Stolarz four times on 19 shots (.789 SV%) in a 5-3 win on Saturday.

The two-time defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers are off to a lackluster 7-7-1 start to the 2025-25 campaign, and will turn to Bobrovsky on Monday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Bobrovsky has had an up-and-down season thus far, posting a 2.74 GAA and .887 SV% in 11 games. That said, the veteran netminder was impressive in his most recent outing, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings. The Panthers enter Monday's contest as +120 road underdogs against a Golden Knights team that has scored three or fewer goals in four straight games (1-2-1).

Raddysh has appeared in seven games so far this season, logging one goal and two assists. Maxwell Crozier will sit in his place.
Bobrovsky will make his 11th start of the season when the Panthers travel to Los Angeles on Thursday.

The two-time Vezina Trophy winner brings a 6-4-0 record into Thursday night's game in Los Angeles, where the Panthers enter action at -105 on the money line.
