Expect the Florida Panthers to tighten things up in Game 6 as they look to put the Edmonton Oilers away. Sergei Bobrovsky will play better and the defense will do everything in its power to limit Connor McDavid's output.The Florida Panthers haven’t had an answer for Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid since Game 1, and the Stanley Cup Final returns to Rogers Place for Game 6 tonight.
Florida averaged 4:49 of shorthanded time per game in Round 3 against the New York Rangers, and the Panthers have been down a man for 7:47 per game in the final against Edmonton. Additionally, Florida’s 72.7 penalty-kill percentage the past two games is well below the 90.2% mark the Panthers posted through their first 20 postseason games, and they also ranked sixth with an 82.5 PK% during the regular season. Statistical correction is ahead.Cooling McDavid with the man advantage correlates with him also failing to post a multi-point showing for the first time in four games.
Panthers starter Sergei Bobrovsky will play better, too. He has been lit up for nine goals and a .769 save percentage across the past two games, and he’s better than that.
