Oilers Collapse: Panthers Dominate in Game 3 of Stanley Cup Final

Edmonton Oilers Suffer Crushing Defeat in Game 3 of Stanley Cup Final The Edmonton Oilers suffered a devastating 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday, June 10th, 2025, at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida. The Panthers dominated the game, taking a commanding 2-1 series lead. The Oilers' goaltender, Stuart Skinner, was pulled after the fifth goal, a clear indication of the team's struggles. The Panthers scored early and often, establishing a 2-0 lead by the end of the first period. While the Oilers managed to cut the lead in the second period, it was their only goal of the game. The Oilers' frustrations boiled over, resulting in numerous penalties and an ejection by the end of the game. They accumulated 85 penalty minutes. "They made some nice shots," said Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner in a post-game interview, "but as a goalie, you've got to come up with a save." He acknowledged the team's struggles but emphasized that it was just one game and the series was far from over, "It's still just 2-1. It's not like if they win by any more that they go up extra." The Oilers will need to regroup and refocus for Game 4 on Thursday if they hope to turn the series around. The team's discipline will be key to their success in the remaining games.
