The chase for Lord Stanley’s Mug continues tonight as the Edmonton Oilers take on the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. With the series tied 1-1, momentum is on the line when puck drops at 6:00 PM MT from Amerant Bank Arena.
After a thrilling 4–3 overtime win in Game 1—where the Oilers rallied from a 3–1 deficit and Leon Draisaitl secured the victory on the power play—Edmonton came up short in Game 2, falling 5–4 in double overtime after Brad Marchand’s heroics.
Connor McDavid continues to drive Edmonton’s offense, while goaltender Stuart Skinner has held steady under pressure. Edmonton’s special teams will need to shine tonight, especially against Florida’s aggressive forecheck and quick-transition play.
