If the Panthers have to play Game 7 without their best player in these playoffs, it will be very challenging to beat the Oilers, who have the momentum.
Indeed, Connor McDavid's team has won the last three matchups, against all odds. They could become the first Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup since the Canadiens in 1993.
Panthers head coach Paul Maurice just broke the silence on Bobrovsky's absence from practice.
This eliminates the speculation about his possible absence for Monday, the most important game of his career.
The Panthers and Oilers are therefore assured of playing their final game of the season on Monday. An epic showdown is coming, as the Oilers could become the second team in NHL history to come back from a 0-3 deficit in the finals.
