Yesterday, Sergei Bobrovsky, the number one goaltender for the Florida Panthers, was absent from practice, a first for him during the 2024 playoffs.
However, today he returned to the ice at Sunrise in preparation for the upcoming seventh game. According to Patrick Friolet of RDS, Bobrovsky joined his teammates this morning, gearing up for the important match ahead.
Bobrovsky's absence yesterday was explained by head coach Paul Maurice as respecting his routine, though speculation abounds about the true reasons for this sudden absence. Bobrovsky, who hasn't spoken to the media for several days, resumed his pre-game rituals with Steven Lorentz on the ice.
With just hours until Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers, Bobrovsky's return to the ice is a crucial event for his team in this intense and contested series.
