The Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky missed the team practice earlier today, and his fate for game seven was confirmed by Paul Maurice.

Worrying reports emerged this morning from Florida as the Panthers' goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky wasn't on the ice, something very unusual for him, according to NHL.com's Tom Gulitti.
"Oddly, Sergei Bobrovsky is not one of the two goalies warming up before the Panthers' practice, scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.

Anthony Stolarz and Spencer Knight are out there.

Bobrovsky is usually the first one on the ice, well before this, on a practice day."
After the practice, Paul Maurice provided an update on his goaltender. During his press conference, he simply said "Bobrovsky is fine" when he was asked to open up on his status:
"Paul Maurice updates us on Bobrovsky ahead of game 7:

«Bobrovsky is fine»"
The Panthers' goalie has been dealing with his fair share of challenges in the Finals. In the past three games, he allowed 12 goals.
However, he's still the Panthers' best option to win the Stanley Cup. Let's not forget that he managed to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers.
On Monday night, the 2023-24 Stanley Cup Playoffs will reach an end. Sergei Bobrovsky should be between the pipes, and fans hope to see him having a great performance to bring the Stanley Cup to Florida.
