Sergei Bobrovsky absent from practice before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals
There's potential uncertainty in the Florida Panthers' starting goalie position as Sergei Bobrovsky, the expected starter, was absent from this morning's practice session.
The Panthers, gearing up for a crucial Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, have not provided any explanation for Sergei Bobrovsky's absence from practice. The reason for his absence remains unknown at this time.
If Bobrovsky is unavailable, it is anticipated that either Anthony Stolarz or Spencer Knight will step into the goaltending role for the crucial final game of the season. Stolarz previously relieved Bobrovsky in a game four loss against the Oilers, which ended in a decisive 8-1 score. Knight has also seen action in the series.
The Panthers aim to prevent Edmonton from clinching the cup after squandering a 3-0 series lead, allowing the Oilers to tie the series at three games each.
Bobrovsky, aged 35, boasts a playoff record of 15-5-2 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 2.36 goals-against average (GAA) and a .906 save percentage (SV%). During the season, he posted a record of 36-17-4 with a 2.37 GAA and .915 SV%.
