Bobrovsky stopped all nine shots he faced after relieving Driedger to begin the third period of Florida's 6-5 overtime win in Game 3 on Thursday.
Driedger allowed five goals on 12 shots in the second period of the victory and faced 22 shots over 40 minutes. Bobrovsky gave up five goals on 40 shots in Game 1 of the first-round series, which the Panthers lost 5-4. Driedger then started Game 2, surrendering a pair of goals on 28 shots in a 3-1 defeat.
Meanwhile, Panthers defenseman Keith Yandle was scratched for the second straight game Saturday. His ironman streak remains unaffected because these are playoff contests. Yandle is a healthy scratch, according to The Hockey News' Erin Brown.
