    Barkov scored a goal on five shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

  • Leaky in loss
    Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 23 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Bobrovsky didn't give the Panthers a great chance to win despite his teammates controlling the pace of the game. Alexis Lafreniere and Barclay Goodrow each scored twice during regulation, while Alexander Wennberg tallied the winning goal on Bobrovsky 5:35 into overtime. Through 14 playoff contests, Bobrovsky is 9-5 with a 2.31 GAA and a .903 save percentage, with this game being the first time in eight outings he allowed more than two goals. The 35-year-old goalie is at little risk of losing his starting job, so he should be expected between the pipes again for Tuesday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:02 pm

  • Stellar performance in loss
    Bobrovsky made 28 saves on 30 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 2.

    Advice: Bobrovsky was spectacular in Friday's loss but he was outdueled in net by New York's Igor Shesterkin. Surprisingly, Bobrovsky hadn't faced at least 30 shots since Game 5 of Florida's first-round series against Tampa Bay. The 35-year-old netminder also hasn't allowed more than two goals past him in seven consecutive contests. Bob is locked in at the right time, and he'll have a chance to bounce back in Game 3 on Sunday afternoon. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:10 pm

  • Picks up assist in Game 1
    Forsling registered an assist in Florida's 3-0 victory over the Rangers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Forsling fed the puck to Matthew Tkachuk, who fired it past Igor Shesterkin to put the Panthers up 1-0 late in the first period. That stood as the game-winner, which makes this the second straight contest Forsling was involved in the deciding marker -- the 27-year-old defenseman netted the series-clinching tally in Florida's 2-1 victory over Boston in Game 6 on Friday. Forsling has two goals, eight points, a plus-10 rating, eight PIM, 22 hits and 18 blocks in 12 postseason appearances this year. He's also found particular success against the Rangers in 2023-24, supplying four helpers across three outings between the regular season and playoffs. Rotowire.com Thursday, 12:48 pm
     
  • Blanks New York to open series
    Bobrovsky posted a shutout on 23 shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Advice: Bobrovsky showed no signs of rust after a five-day hiatus in Wednesday's series-opening win. The Rangers only had 12 shots on goal through 40 minutes, but Bobrovsky stood tall in the final frame with a few timely saves. It was the 35-year-old netminder's fifth win in his last six games. Bob hasn't had many heavy workloads up until this point -- he's faced 30 or more shots on goal only twice this postseason through 12 contests. This is an indication of the level of structure and commitment to the defensive side of the game the Panthers are playing with in front of the Russian goaltender. So far this postseason, Bobrovsky is 9-3 with a 2.17 GAA and a .909 save percentage. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:32 am
