Bobrovsky pitched a shutout in Game 1 as the Panthers beat the Oilers, 3-0.
Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky denies Oilers center Connor McDavid in the third period of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals Saturday night in Sunrise, Fla. SUNRISE, Fla. — In their previous two appearances in the Stanley Cup finals, the Florida Panthers never led by more than one goal.
Led by 32 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky, who was magnificent as he kept the high-octane Oilers off the scoresheet, Florida beat Edmonton, 3-0, to take its first series lead in a Stanley Cup finals. The Panthers managed just 18 shots on goal, but opportunistic conversion on their scoring chances gave them the cushion they needed. Game 2 is Monday night.
It wasn’t a lack of chances that kept the Oilers from cutting into their 2-0 deficit, forged when Rodrigues beat Skinner at 2:16 following a hustle play by Bennett. Bobrovsky proved impossible to beat, even as threatening scoring chances by Edmonton’s top players piled up.
