The Florida Panthers struck first in Game 3 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, getting ahead early against the Edmonton Oilers courtesy of a Brad Marchand goal less than a minute into the first period.
It was Marchand's third goal of the series, and he's scored in every single game thus far. At 37 years old, he's the oldest player to score a goal in each of the first three games of a Stanley Cup Final in NHL history, per Michael Russo of The Athletic. The previous record was held by Frank Mahovlich, who was 35 when he scored in the first three games of the 1973 Stanley Cup Final as a member of the Montreal Canadiens.
