The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers head to South Florida for the third game of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night.
If the first two games of the series show anything, we are in for a dandy of a series. After the Oilers rallied in Game 1 to win in overtime thanks to a goal from Leon Draisaitl, Edmonton needed a goal in the waning seconds of regulation from Corey Perry to send the game into extra time.

This time, it would be the visitors who prevailed. After a few big saves from Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, longtime pest Brad Marchand managed to jam a shot through Stuart Skinner to give Florida a 5-4 win, evening the series before returning home.
Now, with home-ice advantage taken away, the Oilers need a bounce-back effort in enemy territory, a place where they lost three of the four games in last year’s final. The Panthers have been very tough to beat on home ice this year, and look to make things weary on Edmonton when they arrive in town.
