NHL Playoffs 2025: Panthers Rout Oilers to Take Series Lead

The Florida Panthers dominated the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, taking a 2-1 series lead.

The Florida Panthers proved their strength in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, overpowering the Edmonton Oilers with a significant 6-1 victory, thus taking a 2-1 lead in the series.

Florida’s offensive display was explosive, with the first goal scored just 56 seconds into the match by Anton Lundell, assisted by Brad Marchand, marking Marchand’s fourth goal of the series. The Panthers continued to assert dominance, leading 4-1 by the end of the second period with stunning efforts from players like Sam Reinhart and Sam Bennett.

On defense, Florida was equally impressive, ensuring star player Leon Draisaitl did not get off a single shot on goal and managing to neutralize Connor McDavid. Edmonton’s challenges were exacerbated by their own penalties; they amassed 85 penalty minutes by the end of the game, a stark contrast to their prior performances in the playoff series.
