Much to the perpetuated disappointment of Philadelphia Flyers fans, former Flyers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky continues to steal the show in the NHL playoffs, setting a new postseason record while playing with the Florida Panthers.

Bobrovsky, 36, made 42 saves against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Friday night, powering his Panthers to a crucial 5-4 overtime victory to tie the series at 1-1.
In Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss in Game 1, Bobrovsky also made 42 saves, meaning he has invented and holds an NHL record that will make Flyers fans' skin crawl.
The Russian netminder is now the only goalie in NHL history to start a Stanley Cup Finals series with back-to-back 40-save efforts.
If it makes you feel any better, Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, passed Boston Bruins legend Tuukka Rask for 18th all-time in wins in the NHL playoffs after posting his 58th career postseason win with the Game 2 victory Friday night.

The former Flyers goalie is now three playoff wins away from catching Henrik Lundqvist, seven away from Dominik Hasek, and nine away from fellow countryman Andrei Vasilevskiy.
We can only hope that the Flyers made good use of the second-round pick and two fourth-round picks they received from Columbus for 'Bob' back in 2012.
Bobrovsky is now 13-6 this postseason with a 2.21 GAA, a .912 save percentage, and three shutouts.

Treylon Burks being evaluated after injuring shoulder in practice

Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks said recently that he hopes to stay healthy so he can show what he's capable of doing on the field, but that plan has hit a snag. Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters on Saturday that Burks is being evaluated for a shoulder injury. Burks left the team's practice at Nissan Stadium after making a diving catch. Callahan said the team will update the wideout's condition when they have more information. Burks is returning from a torn ACL that limited him to five games last season. The 2022 first-round pick also missed 12 games over his first two NFL seasons, so the team has plenty of experience playing without him over the last three years. UPDATE 2:50 p.m. ET: NFL Media reports Burks fractured his collarbone.

Report: Treylon Burks fractured his collarbone

Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks injured his shoulder during Saturday's practice at Nissan Stadium and the initial report about his condition suggests he's going to miss time with the injury. NFL Media reports that Burks fractured his collarbone while making a catch during the workout. The wideout is still undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury and establish a timeline for recovery, but the report says he is expected to miss the start of the regular season at the very least. It's an unfortunate and familiar predicament for Burks. The 2022 first-round pick missed 12 games over his first two seasons and he missed the final 12 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL. Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown when he has been healthy enough to play. Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, and Tyler Lockett are joined by fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in the Titans' receiving corps. The Burks injury could help undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo's chances of sticking with college teammate Cam Ward through the cut to 53 players.
