Stanley Cup Final: Oilers can't solve Sergei Bobrovsky as Panthers take Game 1

The Edmonton Oilers did everything they could to solve Sergei Bobrovsky in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, but the Florida Panthers netminder put on a show in front of a sold-out Amerant Bank Arena during a 3-0 victory on Saturday night.

Bobrovsky stopped all 32 shots he faced, frustrating an Oilers team that was averaging 3.5 goals per game heading into the Cup Final.

Despite Edmonton's best efforts, which included 32 scoring chances and three power-play opportunities, it didn't end with pucks getting behind Bobrovsky. The Panthers, meanwhile, took advantage of their chances and cashed in while exposing the Oilers' defensive deficiencies.
