NHL Playoff Recaps: Sergei Bobrovsky blanks Canes, 1 win away from Final

NHL Playoff Recaps: May 22, 2023

Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky posted his first career playoff shutout and the Florida Panthers moved one victory away from advancing to the Stanley Cup Final by claiming a 1-0 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday in Sunrise, Fla.

Sam Reinhart scored in the second period for the Panthers, who hold a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

The goal was enough offense thanks to yet another sparkling performance by Bobrovsky, who made 32 saves.

Frederik Andersen stopped 16 shots for the Hurricanes, who have lost 11 straight Eastern Conference finals games and are on the verge of being swept for a third consecutive time in a conference final.
