Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Grabs pivotal win in Game 5
Rotowire
Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 21 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Bobrovsky was given a 2-0 lead to protect after one period, and unlike in Game 4, he was able to get the job done. It wasn't his best performance of the series, as the Oilers' 21 shots were their lowest in five games against the Panthers, though this is just the second contest that has been decided in regulation between the teams. Bobrovsky will have a chance to clinch the Stanley Cup for the second straight year in Game 6 on Tuesday in Florida.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Squanders good start
Rotowire
Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 35 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Bobrovsky was spotted a 3-0 lead after one period, but it was gone by the second intermission. A bad bounce after a strong individual effort by Leon Draisaitl in overtime was the difference, with Bobrovsky taking his first loss since Game 1 of the series. He's allowed 14 goals on 160 shots against the Oilers, good for a .913 save percentage. Despite this missed opportunity to take a commanding series lead, Bobrovsky is a virtual lock to start in Game 5 on Saturday in Edmonton.

Rotowire

Bobrovsky will get the start after delivering a 32-save effort in a 6-1 win in Game 3. He's allowed nine goals on 125 shots (.928 save percentage) in this series so far, but he's largely been up to the challenge of the Oilers' high-powered offense.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Sharp in Game 3 win
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 32 saves Monday in the Panthers' 6-1 win over the Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Corey Perry spoiled his shutout bid with a power-play tally early in the second period, but otherwise Bobrovsky was firmly in control after being staked to an early lead. The veteran netminder sports a 2.37 GAA and a .928 save percentage through the first three games of the series, and having Bobrovsky in the crease appears to be Florida's biggest edge heading into Game 4 on Thursday.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Set to start Game 3
Rotowire
Bobrovsky was the first goalie off the ice Monday and is slated to be between the pipes at home for Game 3 against the Oilers, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Despite giving up eight goals on 92 shots (.913 save percentage) through the opening two games of the Stanley Cup Finals, there was never really any question regarding who would defend the crease for the Panthers in Game 3. The Russian backstop has three shutouts in the playoffs and will hope to find that form heading into a crucial Game 3.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Wins Game 2 in double OT
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 42 of 46 shots in Friday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Bobrovsky struggled in the first period, when he allowed three of the goals. The Panthers bounced back and held a lead, only for Corey Perry to score with 18 seconds left in regulation. Bobrovsky held firm in overtime and got the win when Brad Marchand scored 8:05 into the second extra session. With eight goals allowed on 92 shots over the last two games, Bobrovsky hasn't been at his best, but he did enough to send the Panthers home with the series tied at 1-1. He'll likely start again in Game 3 on Monday.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Falters in overtime
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 42 of 46 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Bobrovsky had a good performance, but he wasn't able to guide the Panthers to a win after they took a 3-1 lead early in the second period. It was a bit of misfortune late in overtime that completed the collapse, as Tomas Nosek's delay of game penalty put the Oilers on the power play, and Leon Draisaitl cashed in. Bobrovsky has allowed seven goals on 69 shots (.899 save percentage) over his last two games after going eight starts without allowing more than two tallies. Still, he's gotten the Panthers this far and figures to be between the pipes again for Game 2 on Friday.

Bobrovsky has given up more than two goals in just one of his last nine appearances, posting a 7-2 record, 1.34 GAA and .944 save percentage. The veteran backstop will need to remain at an elite level to get past the star-studded Oilers and lift Lord Stanley's Cup for a second straight year. Barring an injury, Bobrovsky will be the starter for the Cats the rest of the way.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Gives up three goals in win
Rotowire
Bobrovsky stopped 20 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
While Bobrovsky had his worst performance since Game 3 of the second round versus Toronto, he was good enough to punch the Panthers' ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals for the third straight year. The 36-year-old can't be blamed for Sebastian Aho's two goals, which came on Florida turnovers. Bobrovsky is now 12-5 with a 2.11 GAA and a .912 save percentage, and he's locked in as ever. He'll get a bit of time to rest before the Cup Finals start, which will be against the Oilers or the Stars.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Stuck with tough Game 4 loss
Rotowire
Bobrovsky turned aside 25 of 26 shots Monday as the Panthers fell 3-0 to the Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Carolina's final two goals were scored into an empty net.
Florida was going for a sweep to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals, but instead the Panthers couldn't solve Frederik Andersen in the Hurricanes' crease, giving Bobrovsky no margin for error. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner still delivered an excellent performance, with the only puck to get past him coming on a wicked snapshot from Logan Stankoven midway through the second period. Bobrovsky has allowed two goals or fewer in eight straight starts, posting a stellar 1.13 GAA and .953 save percentage over that stretch, and he'll look to punch the Panthers' tickets to the finals in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Third shutout of playoffs
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 17 saves in Thursday's 5-0 victory over Carolina in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The shutout was Bobrovsky's third of the playoffs; the Panthers now lead the best-of-7 series 2-0 heading home to Sunrise. Bob wasn't really tested, and the goal that did go in was overturned on an offside. The shutout belonged to the whole team -- their pressure game from the drop of the puck had the Canes confused and off-balance all night. Bobrovsky will be between the pipes in Game 3 on Saturday.
