Oilers’ penalty woes and composure issues lead to blowout loss and put them in precarious spot
The Edmonton Oilers took the ice for practice the day after the wheels came off in a 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. They were eager to put their worst showing since very early in the playoffs behind them. They trail the series 2-1 with the defending champions another win away from moving to the verge of going back to back. Penalty trouble was the primary culprit long before the game got out of hand, and goaltender Stuart Skinner’s play is just one of the reasons for concern.
