Golden Knights Hold Oilers Scoreless for 57-Plus Minutes in Game 3 Win (5-1)

On today’s episode of “things you won’t see again,” the Oilers’ duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were held to a goose egg on Monday night. You’re reading that right. The Oilers got on the board early in Game 3 with a nifty shot from Warren Foegele, but Vegas would (somehow) hold the Edmonton offense scoreless for the final 57-plus minutes en route to a 5-1 win. Jonathan Marchessault notched two goals while Jack Eichel tallied three points (1 goal, 2 assists), and the Golden Knights are back in control of the series. Two critical Game 4s arrive this evening while the Panthers (up 3-0) are the only team skating through Round 2.
