In Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, Sam Reinhart marked his return for the Florida Panthers by scoring his first goal in six games and assisting on another. His performance helped the Panthers achieve a decisive 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. Coach Paul Maurice highlighted Reinhart's goal as a pivotal moment in the match. The Oilers, plagued by discipline issues, accumulated significant penalty minutes and struggled to recover after Reinhart's goal, indicating the Panthers' dominance throughout the game.
"The Sam Reinhart goal was the inflection point," said Panthers coach Paul Maurice, who won his 1,000th NHL game Monday. "2-1, especially ... there was no safe lead at that point, and Sam's goal was very important to us."
Oilers coach Kris Knoblach said his team "unraveled" Monday, and the stat sheet backed that up. Edmonton racked up a staggering 85 penalty minutes ... a suspension for Evander Kane isn't out of the question after his inexcusable and dangerous stick.
