So, as we just said, the rosters are loaded with stars.
Particularly Edmonton’s, which entered Game 2 with the top three point-getters—Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard—in the playoffs and another player (Ryan Nugent-Hopkins) who arrived tied for fourth.
Well, let’s just say they’re not doing much to add to their lead.
Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky held the high-octane quartet in check yet again in Game 2, stopping 18 shots and allowing just one goal—a four-on-four wrister from Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm that leaked through his legs in the first period.
He’s now stopped 50 of 51 shots overall through two games, including nine from McDavid, who did manage an assist on Ekholm’s goal but little else in nearly 26 minutes of ice time.
His absence from the scoreboard is trumped by teammate Draisaitl, who has 10 goals in 20 playoff games but just one in his last six. He’s put up a goose egg on six shots through two games against the Panthers and it’s a particularly painful stat for Edmonton, which has lost 12 straight games in which the burly German has failed to record a point.
