Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky was perfect Saturday night, stopping all 32 Edmonton Oilers shots as the Florida Panthers took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final.
But the Oilers aren't letting him get inside their heads.
"We have to just put ourselves in a position to get good quality scoring chances and bear down on those opportunities," Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters on Sunday. "If we're playing well, they'll go our way."
Bobrovsky was far from perfect in Game 2 of last year's final as he was pulled in a loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

What the Panthers need to do in Game 2
- Take advantage of the last line change and try to keep forward Aleksander Barkov and defense pairing Gustav Forsling and Aaron Ekblad against Oilers star Connor McDavid.
- Stay out of the penalty box. Though the Oilers didn't score, their power play looked dangerous in Game 1.
- Play like they did in the third period when they limited the Oilers' chances. They have a +14 goal differential in the playoffs during the third period.
What the Oilers need to do in Game 2
- Play like they did in the first two periods when they used their speed to get around the Panthers' forechecking.
- Press Bobrovsky a little harder when he plays the puck. He made a few mistakes in Game 1, though the Oilers couldn't capitalize.
- Revisit the decision to put defensemen Cody Ceci and Darnell Nurse back together. They were on the ice for the first two Panthers goals. Knoblauch said Sunday that the team hadn't made a decision yet on defense pairings.
