Oilers offence dries up in Game 3 blowout loss to Golden Knights

Jonathan Marchessault scored his first two goals of the playoffs for the Vegas Golden Knights in Monday's 5-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers to lead their playoff series two games to one.

Jack Eichel scored and had two assists for Vegas with teammates Zach Whitecloud and Chandler Stephenson each chipping in a goal.

Edmonton's Warren Foegele scored the first goal of the game before the Golden Knights countered with five.

Brossoit appeared to injure his left leg sliding across the crease. Adin Hill stopped all 25 shots he saw in relief.

Stuart Skinner was pulled for Jack Campbell in the second period when Vegas scored its fourth goal on 23 shots. Campbell made nine saves.

Game 4 of the best-of-seven Pacific Division final is Wednesday at Rogers Place followed by Friday's Game 5 in Las Vegas.

The Golden Knights took the series opener 6-4 before falling 5-1 at home.

Skinner was removed from Game 4 of Edmonton's first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings.

Vegas vowed to spend more time playing even-strength, and not give Edmonton's vaunted power play running at 56 per cent the minutes it had in Game 2.

The Oilers went 0-for-2 with a man advantage in the game, while Vegas was 0-for-4

Edmonton centre Leon Draisaitl had been producing at a clip of 1.69 points per game until he was held off the scoresheet for the first time Monday.

Oilers captain Connor McDavid also didn't record a point for the first time since the series opener against L.A.

Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy wanted the puck on his players' sticks more than in Game 2, and the Knights obliged.
