Bobrovsky earned his first win with the Maple Leafs last Saturday. He came up big for Toronto, making 30 saves on 33 shots in an impressive 6-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.
That game was Bobrovsky's second consecutive start after losing to the Vegas Golden Knights last Thursday. As a result, Leafs coach Jim Hiller decided to rest Bobrovsky and start Anthony Stolarz against the Mammoth.
Stolarz entered that game with an unbeaten 2-0 record to start the season. Toronto were unable to complete a comeback victory and fell to Utah 5-4.
