The Florida Panthers took a significant lead in their Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers, winning Game 3 6-1. The game was marked by intense physicality and fisticuffs between the two teams.
Tensions boiled over as Corey Perry clashed with Niko Mikkola late in the game, sparking a brief brawl. However, the Panthers’ victory was largely attributed to their dominant performance on the ice.
The Panthers scored six goals, including four in the first period, while Edmonton’s only goal came from Corey Perry in the second period. The team’s depth and scoring prowess proved too much for the Oilers, who were forced to take an early timeout due to several line brawl incidents.
Despite the physicality of the game, which resulted in 138 penalty minutes, the Panthers showed resilience and composure under pressure. Sergei Bobrovsky made 32 saves to secure the win.
The Panthers now lead the series 2-1, setting up a crucial Game 4 on Thursday in Sunrise. With their dominant performance, they have regained control of the Stanley Cup Final.
