Panthers eye Stanley Cup

MONTREAL: The Florida Panthers scored three rapid-fire goals to take control then held off the Edmonton Oilers for a 4-3 victory that has put them one win away from a first NHL Stanley Cup title.

In little more than six minutes in the second period the Panthers scored three goals to seize a 4-1 lead, only for the Oilers to score twice in the third period to bring it down to the wire.

Aleksander Barkov, questionable to play after a high hit from Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl in game two, scored one goal and set up another and Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 32 of 35 shots he faced in another sterling performance.

One year after falling to Vegas in the Stanley Cup Final, the Panthers lead the series 3-0 and can claim the Cup on Saturday in Edmonton, where they’ll be going for the first Stanley Cup Final sweep since 1998.

The Oilers, trying to become the first Canadian team to capture the trophy since the Montreal Canadiens in 1993, now must win four straight games to do it.
