In Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers must decide between goaltenders Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard against the Florida Panthers, who are depending on Sergei Bobrovsky. Bobrovsky's consistent performance has been crucial for the Panthers, highlighted by his remarkable save percentage and reliability in high-pressure situations. Meanwhile, the Oilers have struggled with goaltending consistency as both Skinner and Pickard made notable contributions throughout the series but also faced challenges. Coach Kris Knoblauch acknowledges the tough decision, emphasizing both goalies' capabilities to win games.
Skinner started the first four, Pickard entered Game 4 and won in relief, then lost Game 5. Skinner will probably get the nod in Game 6.
Bobrovsky has stopped 165 of the 181 shots on net during the final, allowing 16 goals with a save percentage of .912.
He's the incredible, elite player that gets totally underappreciated: taken for granted, I guess, by us because he's so consistent with his game.
That confidence is even stronger around the Panthers, given how steady Bobrovsky has been.
