Florida have won their fourth win in four games since the start of the season. This time it was the Colorado beat. Sergei Bobrovsky saved 30 out of 31 shots and was recognized as the first star of the match, but this victory was the 300th in the career of the Russian goalkeeper.

Of ours, only two Yevgeny Nabokov (353 wins in 697 matches) and Nikolai Khabibulin (333 in 799) reached this mark. Bob won 300 victories in 541 games, which is very cool for modern hockey when the teams are aligned. Faster in NHL history was only the legendary goalkeeper of the undefeated '50s Montreal, Jacques Plant, who took 521 games to do so.
