Overview

  • Brad Marchand scored 56 seconds into Game 3, marking his third straight Final game with a goal and making him the oldest player to reach that milestone.
  • Sam Bennett extended his playoff-leading goal total to 14 with a second-period breakaway strike after forcing a turnover with a big hit.
  • Edmonton’s 21 penalties resulted in 85 minutes of shorthanded play and contributed directly to Florida’s three power-play conversions.
  • Stuart Skinner was pulled early in the third period after allowing five goals on 23 shots, though coach Kris Knoblauch described the loss as a team-wide breakdown.
  • Florida now leads the best-of-seven series 2-1 and will host Game 4 in Sunrise on Thursday with a chance to move within one victory of repeating as champions.
