  • Game 3 status uncertain
    Nurse, who reportedly suffered a hip injury in Game 2 on Monday, is still being evaluated. Coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters, "Haven't spoken to our medical staff. I'll be seeing them in about 15 minutes, and I'll get their report," per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

    Advice: Nurse offered little in the way of fantasy impact in Game 2, posting zero shots, zero hits and just one block in his limited 4:20 of ice time. If the veteran blueliner can't go Thursday for Game 3, Cody Ceci figures to rejoin the lineup after serving as a healthy scratch Monday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:27 am
     
  • Light workload in Game 2
    Bobrovsky made 18 saves on 19 shots in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    Advice: Bobrovsky is now two wins away from helping the Panthers raise the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. The 35-year-old has won five consecutive contests while not allowing more than two goals in a game during that span. Bob has been beaten by Edmonton only once in the series, making a total of 50 saves on 51 shots. The Russian netminder has lost consecutive outings just once this postseason, so it'll be an uphill battle for the Oilers going forward. Bobrovsky is 14-5 with a 2.02 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 19 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:09 am
     
  • Set to start Monday
    Bobrovsky is slated to be between the pipes at home for Game 2 against the Oilers on Monday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: Bobrovsky was phenomenal in Game 1, stopping all 32 shots he faced to record his second playoff shutout. The netminder is currently riding a four-game winning streak during which he posted a 1.24 GAA and .953 save percentage. Considering the Russian hasn't sat a game out since the regular-season finale versus Toronto on April 16, he figures to remain the Panthers' preferred option in the crease the rest of the way.

  • Stands on head in win
    Bobrovsky posted a 32-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    Advice: The Oilers' offense provided plenty of challenges, but Bobrovsky was in peak form to shut them down throughout the game to earn his second shutout of the playoffs -- he also opened the Eastern Conference Finals by backstopping a 3-0 win over the Rangers. Bobrovsky is 13-5 with a 2.08 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 18 appearances, and it's a virtual guarantee he starts again in Game 2 on Monday. Rotowire.com Jun 8, 8:38 pm
     
  • In net for Game 1
    Bobrovsky will defend the home crease Saturday in Game 1 against Edmonton, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Advice: Bobrovsky has been solid this postseason, posting a .908 save percentage with a 2.20 GAA through 17 games. He'll now take on an Oilers team that has averaged 3.50 goals per game in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Jun 8, 8:41 am
