The Columbus Blue Jackets have no doubts about their Vezina Trophy finalist.

Sergei Bobrovsky is indeed up for the award - given to the best goalie in the regular season - but once again proved to be a bit shaky in the postseason, allowing 20 goals in five games against the Pittsburg Penguins.

Still, general manager Jarmo Kekalainen believes regular-season Bobrovsky and playoff Bobrovsky will merge at some point down the road.

"He will be better (in playoffs)," Kekalainen said Monday per, Aaron Portzline of the Post Dispatch. "I'm convinced about it. I'm 100 percent confident in it."

Bobrovsky has made 11 career playoff appearances for the Blue Jackets, posting a save percentage of .897 in a pair of first-round series losses. Over five regular seasons in Columbus, however, his save percentage sits at .923, with a Vezina win back in 2013 to go with this year's finalist nod.

Ideally for Columbus, Bobrovsky will prove Kekalainen right by this time next year.
