Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky skipped practice before Game 7, per coach Paul Maurice's plan.

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky skipped practice ahead of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against Edmonton Oilers, as per coach Paul Maurice's plan to get him back into routine with one-day gaps between games. Bobrovsky had struggled recently, allowing 5, 4, and 3 goals in Games 4, 5, and 6. Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk said the team needed to improve defensively, not blaming Bobrovsky.
