Bobrovsky Relieved to Avoid Facing Matthews
The 37-year-old Russian goalkeeper, who signed a three-year, $7 million cap hit deal with Toronto, praised Auston Matthews as a uniquely gifted opponent.
Sergei Bobrovsky has a new team-mate to be relieved about, not an opponent to worry about. The Toronto goalkeeper, who joined the Leafs on the opening day of free agency on a three-year deal with a $7 million cap hit, spoke about facing Auston Matthews in training rather than across the ice.
Bobrovsky is 37. The move to Toronto ends any prospect of the Russian having to deal with Matthews from the opposing crease, a match-up that will now happen only in practice.
