Stanley Cup Final: Panthers hold off Oilers comeback to take 3-0 series lead

The Florida Panthers are one win from their first Stanley Cup title, but the Edmonton Oilers can at least say they at least made this loss too close for comfort.

In the span of a little more than six minutes, the Panthers ripped off three straight goals to turn a tie game into a laugher in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. However, that laugher turned back into a game in the final minutes, when the Oilers scored twice to cut the deficit to one.

That was all they got, though, and the Panthers finished the game with a 4-3 win and a 3-0 series lead.
