Final Rangers-Panthers Prediction & Pick

Sergei Bobrovsky just had his worst game in the playoffs so far. Still, in the playoffs, Bobrovsky has bounced back from bad performances with ease. He should be doing that again in game four of the series. It has been a tight series so far, and will continue to be so, but, with the expectation that Bobrovsky bounces back, take the Panthers in this one.
