In a stunning Game 3 performance, the Florida Panthers delivered a commanding 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, shifting momentum in the Stanley Cup Final and taking a 2-1 series lead.
Brad Marchand got the Panthers on the board early with his eighth goal of the playoffs, setting the tone for what would be a lopsided affair. The real spark came from Sam Reinhart, whose offensive presence helped open the floodgates for Florida.
The Oilers, who had looked sharp in earlier games, struggled defensively and failed to respond to the Panthers’ relentless pressure. Edmonton’s goaltending faltered, and their offense was stifled throughout the night.
With the win, Florida now holds a crucial edge heading into Game 4. The Panthers are showing playoff depth, discipline, and a hunger that could carry them all the way.

Florida Panthers 6 – Edmonton Oilers 1
