Following two tightly contested games to kick off the Stanley Cup Final, Game 3 took a different turn. The Panthers secured a convincing 6-1 victory over the Oilers, moving ahead 2-1 in the series.

Florida wasted no time getting on the scoreboard, with Anton Lundell setting up Brad Marchand just 56 seconds into the game. This early goal set the tone for the rest of the match, showcasing the Panthers' dominance over Edmonton.

Throughout the game, the Panthers outperformed the Oilers in all aspects, both physically and mentally, for the entire 60 minutes.

An impressive highlight was Sam Bennett's 14th playoff goal in the second period. Bennett's skillful play, knocking Vasily Podkolzin off balance before scoring on a breakaway, extended Florida's lead to three goals.

One of the most concerning aspects for the Oilers was their lack of discipline, evident in multiple penalties during the game. Edmonton's frustration escalated as the game progressed, with incidents like Jake Walman's actions towards the Panthers' bench and Stuart Skinner's delay of game penalty.

The Oilers accumulated a total of 85 penalty minutes, with key players like Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid struggling to make an impact. Edmonton must regroup and show composure in Game 4 to avoid falling further behind in the series.
