The Vegas Golden Knights have dominated the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final and only need two more wins to clinch their first championship.
Neither the Panthers nor the Golden Knights have previously won a Stanley Cup. The Florida Panthers last went to the Stanley Cup Final in 1996, when they were swept by the Colorado Avalanche. The Vegas Golden Knights made it to the Cup Final in their inaugural season in 2018, but lost in five games to the Washington Capitals.
Mathew Tkachuk came to the Panthers in a trade with the Calgary Flames last offseason and has dominated in key moments this postseason, but has been quiet so far in the Final. Tkachuk knows that tonight’s Game 3 will be important.
“This is by far the biggest game of our season. We know what has made us successful to this point. We’re definitely not going to shy away from that,” he told ESPN.
In order to make this a series, he and the Panthers will have to push back against Jack Eichel and a Vegas Golden Knights team that’s powered its way through the Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Stars to reach their second Stanley Cup Final in six years.

How to watch Panthers vs. Golden Knights Game 3 online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the Stanley Cup Final using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Stanley Cup Final games may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
