June 10 (UPI) -- Sergei Bobrovsky was bulletproof glass between the pipes, while the Florida Panthers offense revved up for six scores to dominate the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday in Sunrise, Fla.
Sam Reinhart, Evan Rodrigues and Carter Verhaeghe each logged a goal and assist in the 6-1 triumph at Amerant Bank Arena. Fellow Panthers forwards Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett and defenseman Aaron Ekblad also scored in a violent game that grew in animosity as the clock ticked down.
When it ended, players had been assessed 140 combined penalty minutes, 85 of which were against the Oilers. Six players -- three on each side -- received misconduct penalties out of the 35 total penalties recorded. Fights seemed to break out after almost every whistle in much of the third period.
The 140 penalty minutes were the fourth most in a Stanley Cup Final game in NHL history. Topping the list was a 1986 Game 4 between the Calgary Flames and the Montreal Canadiens at 176 combined minutes.
