Florida escaped with a 4-3 win, thanks to more heroics from Sergei Bobrovsky. Here's what else we learned, and what to watch for on Saturday.
After Florida opened the scoring in the first, Edmonton tied the game at one, followed by three straight tallies by the Panthers.
However, the Panthers were outshot in Game 3 for the first time in this Cup Final, and Bobrovksy had to do more heavy lifting than in previous victories -- and this one reached nail-biter territory given how the Oilers pushed back in the third. Florida had just one shot on goal through the first half of the final frame when they were already on the wrong side of the ledger there, 29-18.
The attention in this series has squarely fallen on forwards and goaltenders. Forsling deserves what spotlight has come his way -- and it's only going to burn brighter in Game 4. While McDavid has yet to score in the series, his two third-period assists were crucial when it came to the Oilers making it close. No one player makes a team. Or in the case of the Oilers, no two generational centers make a team.
