The Florida Panthers took control of the Stanley Cup Finals in Game 3 with a dominant 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, giving them a 2-1 series lead. The Panthers capitalized on the Oilers' mistakes and showcased their depth with goals from various players.

Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett led the charge for Florida, with Marchand becoming the oldest player to score in the first three games of a final. Bennett, who has the most playoff goals in the NHL, made a big impact with his physical play and scoring ability. Carter Verhaeghe, Sam Reinhart, Aaron Ekblad, and Evan Rodrigues also contributed to the Panthers' impressive win.

On the defensive end, Sergei Bobrovsky was solid in goal, making 32 saves and earning praise from the home crowd. The Oilers struggled to generate quality chances against Bobrovsky, with veteran Corey Perry scoring their lone goal on a power play.

Despite a physical game that saw multiple penalties and a late-game brawl, the Panthers maintained their composure and controlled the pace of play. With Game 4 looming, Florida has the opportunity to extend their series lead and put themselves in a strong position to win the Stanley Cup.
