Panthers Rely on Bobrovsky Amid Oilers Goalie Uncertainty Stanley Cup Final

As the Edmonton Oilers face elimination in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers, they continue to debate between goaltenders Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard, with Skinner likely to start. The Oilers have alternated goalies during the playoffs, with Pickard having a strong postseason record until a recent loss, while Skinner has had mixed performances. In contrast, the Panthers rely on the steady presence of two-time Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky, who has started 63 consecutive playoff games and been a key factor in their pursuit of a second straight NHL title. Bobrovsky's consistency and elite play, including tying the NHL record for most road wins in a single postseason, have earned praise from teammates and coaches alike. Despite a rout in Game 5, Bobrovsky's early saves and calm demeanor remain vital to Florida's confidence. Both teams recognize the critical role of their goaltenders as the series heads into a decisive game.
