Edmonton Oilers’ frustration builds with 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final

Associated Press  

EDMONTON, Alberta — Unable to complete a third-period comeback, the Edmonton Oilers find themselves on the brink of elimination despite arguably being the better team in two of the first three games of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers. We just can’t seem to put it over the goal line.” The Oilers outshot the Panthers 35-23 and had many more high-danger scoring opportunities than their Game 2 defeat in Florida. “When you’re chasing the game for a big chunk of the night, it’s just hard to come back.” McDavid alone had five shots on net, including a one-timer after a power play expired that Bobrovsky slid over to stop. “It’s a steep hill right now,” Draisaitl said.
