Player Grades: Florida Panthers Beat Oilers in Double OT Heartbreaker
Article content The Oilers lost a hard fought game in double overtime after battling back to tie the game with just 18 seconds left. This was a legendary tilt, full of all the things that make the Stanley Cup finals the greatest sporting event on the planet: Lots of hits, lots of greasy plays, a ton of skill, and a burning desire for each team to put it in the W column. Unfortunately, tonight that was not in the cards for the Oilers. The team did well in the first period despite some chaotic moments and a rash of penalties in both directions. They struggled mightily in the second period for the second straight game. The long change is proving to be an immense challenge against Florida, it's something they need to tighten up if they want to win this series. The third and OT were much better overall. There are some real breakout challenges they need to rapidly tweak via video, and they are making way to many icings. On the flip side they played over 40 minutes of 'good enough' hockey, so they have something to rebound off of, there are just some details to polish. Given that this game went to double OT it was somewhat hard to grade, it wasn't a 'clean' game in either direction no matter if you look at the score sheet, the event sheet, or just the general flow of play. The Oilers tried to play too much Panthers hockey tonight, and they're going to get beat with experience there. If they force the Panthers to play the Oilers game, they're going to be much more successful, but that's going to take a bit more maturity.

Marchand scores in double OT, Panthers beat Oilers 5-4 to tie series 1-1
Brad Marchand had a pair of goals, including the winner in the second overtime, as the Florida Panthers evened their Stanley Cup final rematch with Edmonton, defeating the Oilers 5-4 in a wild Game 2 on Friday. 'Each game could have went either way,' Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said after the loss. 'Obviously, when you win the first one you're disappointed when you don't follow up and win the second one. But we're going there with a split and that's fine with us. We're comfortable playing on the road. We've won a lot of games, so far, in the regular season and the playoffs — so we'll get ready for Game 3.' Marchand got a breakaway and was able to sneak a backhand shot through Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner's legs 8:05 into the second overtime. Sam Bennett, Seth Jones and Dmitry Kulikov also scored for the Panthers, who improved to 9-3 on the road in post-season play.

Evander Kane, Evan Bouchard, Leon Draisaitl and Corey Perry replied for the Oilers who had a five-game win streak snapped and dropped to 7-2 at home.

Florida started the scoring 2:07 into the opening period on an early power play as Nate Schmidt fed it across to Bennett and he deposited his 13th of the playoffs into the net before Skinner could get across, setting a new NHL record for road goals in a single post-season with 12. The Oilers tied it at 7:39 of the first frame as Kane was sprung on a partial breakaway and beat Bobrovsky up high with a shot that went off the post and in for his sixth of the playoffs. Edmonton then surged in front less than two minutes later with the teams playing four aside as Connor McDavid dropped it back to Bouchard and he got the rebound of his own blocked shot and then sent it past Bobrovsky from distance for his seventh. Florida knotted the game back up with just over eight minutes to play in the frantic first as Eetu Luostarinen made a nice pass across to Jones, who had a wide-open net to rifle in his fourth of the playoffs. Story continues below advertisement Edmonton jumped back in front a minute later after Bennett was sent off for goaltender interference after landing heavily on Skinner's right leg in a play reminiscent of the challenged goal in Game 1, as McDavid made a couple of incredible moves before passing it to Draisaitl who scored his 10th of the playoffs and third of the finals after being held without a goal in last year's final. 'Every game is tight at this time of year,' Draisaitl said. 'Two really good teams, so it's never going to be easy. Regroup and get ready for Game 3.' It was the highest scoring first period in a final since 2016. Florida made it 3-3 at 7:23 of the second period as a Kulikov shot went off of Bouchard and then the post and in for his second. The Panthers took the lead with 7:51 to play in the middle period as Marchand sent it through Skinners' legs on a short-handed breakaway for his sixth. The game looked like it was over, but Edmonton engineered another comeback, scoring with just 18 seconds left in the third period and their goalie pulled as Perry found the puck in a mad scramble in front and managed to bang in his eighth of the playoffs to send the game to extra time. Story continues below advertisement Florida had the best chances in the first overtime, with Marchand sliding a puck under Skinner only to hit the post and be fished to safety by John Klingberg, as well as Sam Reinhart missing the net on a clear breakaway. UP NEXT Game 3 takes place on Monday in Florida.
