The Panthers, meanwhile, have no such issue. Bobrovsky is their guy. He has been ever since regaining the starting job midway through the first round of the 2023 playoffs, their first of three consecutive runs to the Stanley Cup Final. He is as steady as they come, and his performance has shown for it.

The good vibes are all here, but the fellas know this series is far from over as things sit 3-2. In 2024, the Florida Panthers made history by winning their first-ever Stanley Cup Championship.

Entering Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, with the series tied 2-2, Barkov has just two points in the Cup Final — both assists that came on the power play in Florida’s Game 4 overtime loss on Thursday. He has just 10 total shots on goal through the four games.
