How About Bob? Bobrovsky, Nedeljkovic Get into Goalie Fight

SUNRISE — Florida Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky had never before been in a goalie fight but that changed on Monday night against Alex Nedeljkovic and the San Jose Sharks.

At 14 minutes of the third period, there was a scrum behind the San Jose net — and Nedeljkovic jumped in and went after Evan Rodrigues.

Bobrovsky obviously did not like what he saw and sprinted the length of the ice, shedding his gloves along the way.

The Florida goalie confronted Nedeljkovic before ripping off the San Jose goalie’s mask.

The two threw punches for a minute or so before both hit the ice.

Bobrovsky headed down the tunnel and it appeared Daniil Tarasov would enter the game.

Instead, Bobrovsky came back out and continued playing.

Bothe goalies got hit with 2 minutes for leaving the crease and 5 minutes for fighting.
