Pickard (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Monday's home matchup versus Vegas in Game 4, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.

Pickard will miss his second straight contest after being hurt in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 2. He has earned a 6-0 record with a 2.84 GAA and an .888 save percentage through seven appearances this postseason. Stuart Skinner, who made 20 saves in a 4-3 loss to Vegas on Saturday in Game 3, is expected to start Monday because of Pickard's absence.

Bobrovsky is expected to patrol the home crease against Toronto on Sunday in Game 4, Panthers play-by-play announcer Steve Goldstein reports.

Bobrovsky is coming off a 27-save effort in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 3. He has surrendered 13 goals on 81 shots through three outings versus Toronto in the second round.

Skinner stopped 20 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3.

Skinner was cruising early, but the Golden Knights erased a two-goal deficit before the first intermission. The game appeared headed for overtime, but Skinner was caught out of position when Reilly Smith banked home a shot off Leon Draisaitl's stick for the decisive goal in the final second of regulation. Skinner has lost all three of his playoff outings, giving up 15 goals on 82 shots, but's likely to start as long as Calvin Pickard (undisclosed) is unavailable. Pickard is day-to-day ahead of Game 4 versus the Golden Knights on Monday.

Hill stopped 17 of 20 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

Hill allowed two goals to Corey Perry in the first period and one more to Connor McDavid late in the third, but a last-second goal gave the Golden Knights their first win of the series. Hill is now 5-4 this postseason while adding a 3.14 GAA and an .872 save percentage over nine games. He's allowed 12 goals over three contests to begin the second round, but it'll be tough to tighten things up against such a strong offense. Look for Hill to start again Monday in Game 4.
