The Panthers, meanwhile, have no such issue. Bobrovsky is their guy. He has been ever since regaining the starting job midway through the first round of the 2023 playoffs, their first of three consecutive runs to the Stanley Cup Final. He is as steady as they come, and his performance has shown for it.

After several subpar seasons, Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky revitalized his career during Florida’s three trips to the Stanley Cup Final over the past three years.

In this year’s Stanley Cup final, goaltending has been a major storyline for the Edmonton Oilers. Regular starter Stuart Skinner has been displaced by backup Calvin Pickard, and Oilers fans don’t have consensus on who should be starting Game 5 for the team.

Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final had just ended and most of the Florida Panthers’ went at full speed to celebrate with Brad Marchand, who scored the game-winning goal in double overtime to even the best-of-7 series with the Edmonton Oilers at 1-1.

Florida Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky remained nested in his crease while his teammates were fighting with the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3.

The Florida Panthers have been a machine when playing away from home during this postseason.

Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 21 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
