Following two consecutive overtime battles to open the Stanley Cup Final, the Florida Panthers broke the pattern with a decisive victory. In Game 3, the Panthers dominated the Edmonton Oilers, winning by a lopsided score of 6-1.
Florida quickly seized the lead just 56 seconds into the game. They controlled the game, excelling defensively and limiting the impact of Edmonton`s key players like Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, who were effectively shut down.
The Oilers compounded their problems with self-inflicted penalties, racking up 85 penalty minutes and losing their composure by the end of the game, a significant change from the competitive first two games. Florida held a comfortable 4-1 lead after the second period.
The Oilers will need a strong response in Game 4 on Thursday, while the Panthers will aim to repeat their commanding performance.
