The Edmonton Oilers suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 defeat at home to the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 3 of their playoff series. After Leon Draisaitl inadvertently deflected a shot into his own net with mere seconds left, the loss overshadowed Connor McDavid's game-tying goal late in the third period. Despite leading 2-0 early in the match, the Oilers allowed Vegas to rally and take the lead before McDavid's equalizer. The series now stands 2-1 in favor of Edmonton.

Oilers captain Connor McDavid's late-game performance is noteworthy, but his team must address defensive lapses. Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner made impressive saves yet was left exposed by his defense. Edmonton's next game in the series is crucial as they look to regain momentum.
