Brad Marchand is the double-OT hero, as Panthers edge Oilers to even Stanley Cup Final
COREY PERRY!! WE'RE GOING TO OVERTIME!! 😱 🇺🇸: 🇨🇦: — NHL (@NHL) Much like last year and the playoff run to this point, Sergei Bobrovsky was dialed in when he was needed the most — making some unreal saves while stopping 42 of the 46 shots he faced. His teammates provided the necessary goal support. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Along with Marchand, Sam Bennett scored his postseason-leading 13th goal and NHL record 12th on the road. Seth Jones scored into a wide-open net after some spectacular tic-tac-toe passing, and fellow defenseman Dmitry Kulikov tied it with a shot through traffic that Stuart Skinner almost certainly did not see. Advertisement Kulikov's goal came after Florida controlled play for several minutes in the second period, hemming Edmonton in its zone shift after shift and piling up a 34-13 advantage in shot attempts during the period. Marchand's OT goal was his 10th career goal in the final to lead all active players. Game 3 is Monday night as the teams traverse the continent and play shifts to Sunrise, Fla. Advertisement The Panthers wrested home-ice advantage away from the Oilers by splitting the first two, rebounding from a Game 1 overtime loss and asserting they won't go quietly against Draisaitl and Connor McDavid looking like they'll do everything in their power to hoist the Cup for the first time. Of course, those stars had their moments. They assisted on Evan Bouchard's goal when coach Kris Knoblauch put them on the ice together, and McDavid stickhandled through multiple defenders in highlight-reel fashion to set up Draisaitl scoring on the power play. Connor McDavid is a human cheat code 😳 🇺🇸: 🇨🇦: — NHL (@NHL) There were a lot of those — 10 in total — after officials whistled 14 penalties, including three in the first four minutes. Each team had a few calls it was not happy with, though most of that evened out over the course of the game.

Stanley Cup Final: Brad Marchand lifts Panthers to double-OT win in Game 2
EDMONTON, Canada — Brad Marchand scored on a breakaway in double overtime and the defending champion Florida Panthers punched back against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of their Stanley Cup Final rematch, winning 5-4 on Friday night to even the series. Marchand's second goal of the night 8:04 into the second OT allowed Florida to escape with a split after Corey Perry scored to tie it with 17.8 seconds left in the third period and Stuart Skinner pulled for an extra attacker. Each of the first two games in this final have gone to overtime, for the first time since 2014 and just the sixth in NHL history. Much like last year and the playoff run to this point, Sergei Bobrovsky was dialed in when he was needed the most, making some unreal saves while stopping 42 of the 46 shots he faced.

Another overtime thriller. This time, the Panthers win to even Stanley Cup Final
Two games into this Stanley Cup Final rematch between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. Two absolutely thrilling games of hockey, both of which went to overtime. And, most importantly for the Panthers, a split so far in the series as the games shift to South Florida. After falling in overtime in the series opener, Brad Marchand scored 8:05 into double overtime on Friday to give the Panthers a 5-4 win against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 on Friday at Rogers Place to level the best-of-7 series at 1-1. Game 3 from Sunrise's Amerant Bank Arena will be at 8 p.m. Monday. Florida used a two-goal second period to take a 4-3 lead and came oh-so-close to that score holding in regulation, but Edmonton's Corey Perry tied the game with 17.8 seconds left to force overtime for a second consecutive game. It's the first time since 2014 that a Stanley Cup Final series saw each of its first two games go to overtime. Perry picked up a rebound from a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins shot from the point, muscled past Florida's Eetu Luostarinen in the slot and managed to get the puck past Sergei Bobrovsky to even the game at 4-4. It was Edmonton's first goal since a Leon Draisaitl goal with 7:23 left in the first period, a wild frame that saw five goals (by Sam Bennett and Seth Jones for Florida; Evander Kane, Evan Bouchard and Draisaitl for Edmonton), 50 shot attempts and 11 penalties in the first 20 minutes. It ended a stretch of 47:11 in which the Panthers kept the Oilers off the board and mounted a comeback. Florida's second-period goals came from Dmitry Kulikov from the point and Marchand on a shorthanded breakaway to take a 4-3 lead with 7:51 left in the middle frame that looked like it would hold. The Panthers dominated the second period to the tune of a 34-13 edge in shot attempts plus advantages of 14-9 in shots on goal, 18-10 in scoring chances and 7-3 in high-danger chances. The second period was also Florida's best period in the series opener but the fizzled down the stretch, giving up the game-tying goal in the third and losing with 31 seconds left in overtime on a Draisaitl power-play goal. For 19:42 into the third, Florida kept Edmonton at bay. The Oilers managed to tie it, but the Panthers found a way in the end to win. And now the series is tied. This story will be updated.
