Skinner allows two goals on 17 shots in Game 1 loss
Stuart Skinner allowed two goals on 17 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. The third goal was an empty-netter. Skinner had the lighter workload of the two goalies, but Sergei Bobrovsky stood on his head while the Panthers got a goal in each period. The 25-year-old Skinner has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of his last nine games, going 6-3 in that span. He’s now 11-6 with a 2.47 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 17 playoff appearances. Game 2 is in Florida on Monday, and it’s likely Skinner will get the start since he can’t be blamed for the series-opening loss.
Bobrovsky stands on head in Game 1 win
Sergei Bobrovsky posted a 32-save shutout in Saturday’s 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Oilers’ offense provided plenty of challenges, but Bobrovsky was in peak form to shut them down throughout the game to earn his second shutout of the playoffs — he also opened the Eastern Conference Finals by backstopping a 3-0 win over the Rangers. Bobrovsky is 13-5 with a 2.08 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 18 appearances, and it’s a virtual guarantee he starts again in Game 2 on Monday.
