The Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 in Recreation 3 of the Stanley Cup Last at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Thursday. The Panthers lead the best-of-7 sequence 3-0.
Listed below are some fast takeaways from the sport by NHL.com employees author Tracey Myers:
Aleksander Barkov was excellent in Recreation 3, specifically for the impression he had on what the Panthers did offensively. He took management of the puck from Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard to arrange Sam Reinhart’s objective at 18:58 of the primary interval and scored on a 2-on-1 with Evan Rodrigues at 15:31 of the second.
Oilers ahead Ryan McLeod acquired Rogers Place hopping once more at 14:43 of the third interval when he had a nifty redirection of defenseman Brett Kulak’s shot to chop the sport to 4-3.

Yep, it goes to Sergei Bobrovsky once more, and it’s a mixture. He first stopped Oilers ahead Zach Hyman’s snap shot at 8:33 of the second earlier than denying Connor McDavid’s backhand try off the rebound one second later.
The Oilers will attempt to stave off elimination once they host the Panthers at Rogers Place in Recreation 4 on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; ABC, ESPN+, SN, TVAS, CBC).
