In a thrilling Game 3 matchup, the Edmonton Oilers faced a heartbreaking defeat against the Vegas Golden Knights, with the winning goal scored just 0.4 seconds before the final buzzer. Goaltender Stuart Skinner, filling in for the injured Calvin Pickard, expressed disappointment but emphasized the unpredictable nature of hockey, attributing the goal to a fortunate bounce rather than a mistake on his part.

Skinner made 20 saves during the game but has struggled in the playoffs, holding a 5.36 goals-against average and a .817 save percentage, both ranking last among playoff goalies with multiple games played. Despite the loss, the Oilers maintain a 2-1 series lead over the Golden Knights, setting up a crucial Game 4.
