The Florida Panthers held off a furious comeback from the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night and won Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final, 4-3.
The Florida Panthers took a commanding 3-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup final on Thursday night, hanging on to defeat the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 in Game 3. The Oilers faced a steep climb to get back into the game in the third period down 4-1 but they almost pulled it off. Philip Broberg scored about six minutes into the period while Ryan McLeod redirected one past Sergei Bobrovsky at the 14:43 mark to amp up the pressure on Florida.
As Edmonton added the sixth man onto the ice, they couldn’t get another puck past 'Bob.' Florida moved one win away from winning their first Stanley Cup in franchise history. Florida started the scoring at the 18:58 mark in the first period with a Sam Reinhart goal – his ninth of the postseason. Oilers winger William Foegele tied the game early in the period. But a few mistakes from Edmonton allowed Florida to take advantage.
Game 4 – and the potential sweep for the Panthers – will begin on Saturday night. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
