  • 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 Saturday, 8:38 pm
     
  • Gets no help in Game 1 loss
    Skinner allowed two goals on 17 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. The third goal was an empty-netter.

    Advice: Skinner had the lighter workload of the two goalies, but Sergei Bobrovsky stood on his head while the Panthers got a goal in each period. The 25-year-old Skinner has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of his last nine games, going 6-3 in that span. He's now 11-6 with a 2.47 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 17 playoff appearances. Game 2 is in Florida on Monday, and it's likely Skinner will get the start since he can't be blamed for the series-opening loss. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:34 pm
