Sergei Bobrovsky of the Florida Panthers brings with him plenty of playoff experience that could prove crucial in this high-stakes matchup. Though his average save percentage might only average out to 0.912 through 13 games, Bobrovsky must never be underestimated; his resilience and ability to make crucial saves cannot be discounted; they will be essential in keeping Trocheck and Zibanejad under wraps while stopping key Rangers players like Shesterkin from scoring goals at will. To level this series for Florida and advance it all the way through to Game 7, Bobrovsky must raise his game further and challenge Shesterkin by making timely saves that shift momentum away from him while forcing Shesterkin out.
