“They are a very skillful offensive team,” Bobrovsky said. “They’re going to make plays. You just focus on each and every one and it’s a fun challenge.

Another big reason the Panthers got here, winger Matthew Tkachuk, also had a big assist and was responsible for turning up the pressure on Edmonton.
