Florida Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has fully reached the point in his career where he's now padding his resume to further build his Hall of Fame case with every start.

Bobrovsky did exactly that by leading the Panthers to an important 5-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Monday night, too. While stopping 22 of the 25 pucks fired his way, Bobrovsky, 37, earned a monumental win, not only for his team, but for his personal ledger.

The win moves the Panthers one game better than the Capitals as far as the Eastern Conference standings, but it also allowed Bobrovsky to climb the NHL's all-time wins list.

Sergei Bobrovsky should continue to move up the wins list this season

The 16-year NHL veteran now holds possession of eighth all-time with 446 wins, jumping ahead of Terry Sawchuk and sitting behind Curtis Joseph, who is next up on Bobrovsky's hit list with 454. Henrik Lundqvist is also in sight to surpass this season in 6th with 459.

Even though Bobrovsky's numbers are a bit down this season compared to his play during Florida's championship years, he's still getting the job done enough to keep the Panthers in the thick of the playoff picture.

Bobrovsky has been below his normal standards so far this season

After the win over the Capitals, Bobrovsky owns 17 of Florida's 21 wins on the year. He's 17-8-1 and entered the night with a 2.79 goals against average and an .888 save percentage. Florida is 21-15-2 overall through 38 games.

But a big part of Bobrovsky's legacy is his clutch play late in seasons. He finished last season with a 2.44 GAA and 2.37 for the 2023-24 campaign to go along with a .906 and .915 save percentages, respectively. Bobrovsky actually has only completed one season with a sub .900 save percentage - his second year with the Flyers at .899.

Factoring in Bobrovsky's statistics with his win total and postseason success as a two-time Stanley Cup champion with 61 playoff wins and a 2.71 GAA, and the two-time Vezina Trophy winner has etched his name as one of the league's all-time greats.
