All four gospels record Peter denying Jesus 3 times, but it seems they record different events. Either they can all be reconciled to three, or there were more than three denials. Looking at the contexts of the denials, it seems that Peter twice denied before one servant girl, also denied before a different servant girl, also to a man and again to a group of men. Or looking at the specific questions given to Peter, again it seems there were more than three different questions to which Peter denied.
I suppose the question could be, how many denials do you believe there were, and if only three, which denials do you believe should be conflated?

Troy Day Although three times (John 18:17, 25, and 27), prophecy of our Lord Jesus Christ confirms, “Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice” (John 13:38).
