Edmonton couldn’t overcome its own mistakes and is now down 3–0.
In some ways, Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday night was the best showing the Edmonton Oilers have had in the series. But unfortunately for them, they were still plagued by the same issues that sunk them in the first two games, losing to the Florida Panthers, 4–3, and falling behind in the series three games to none.

The first goal of the series came after Oilers star Connor McDavid—one of the fastest players in the NHL—was uncharacteristically caught flat-footed and
Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky was fantastic once again, stopping 32 of the 35 shots he faced. The three goals he allowed were next to impossible to stop. The first came on a breakaway, the second deflected off the elbow of a defender into the net and the third was tipped in on a shot from the point.

Part of that is because Edmonton’s previously well-oiled power play has been completely shut down in the series. After converting on 37.3% of man-up opportunities in the first three rounds of the playoffs, the Oilers are 0-for-10 in the Final after getting shut out on three opportunities in Game 3.
