Bobrovsky's absence raises concerns
In recent moments, the Florida Panthers' goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, a serious contender for the Conn Smythe Trophy under Paul Maurice's leadership in these 2024 playoffs, has been noticeably absent this Sunday.
This information comes from TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie, igniting the rumor mill.
Could the netminder be dealing with an injury? Is it merely a rest day, given his recent struggles in the last few games? Does he need a day of treatment to ensure he's in top form for Monday night?
Many questions remain, and few answers have been provided by the organization at this time.
During the current playoffs, Sergei Bobrovsky has posted impressive stats with a 0.906 save percentage and a 2.35 goals-against average. If not for games 4 to 6 of the finals, these statistics would be even more remarkable.
Apart from Finnish center Aleksander Barkov, Sergei Bobrovsky's name is a serious contender for the Conn Smythe Trophy should the Panthers win Monday night's decisive game. Although many experts predict that the trophy will go to Connor McDavid regardless of the outcome, which would also be deserved given his 42 points this postseason.
