EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — It’s 2011 all over again for Brad Marchand, who at 37 is showing signs he’s actually getting better with age in inching the Florida Panthers within a victory of their second straight Stanley Cup title.
Marchand scored twice, including being credited with his second winning goal of the Cup Finals, in a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. In bouncing back from squandering a 3-0 lead in Game 4 on Thursday, the Panthers return home with a 3-2 series lead for Game 6 on Tuesday.
“Yeah, we’ve been pretty good at bouncing back all playoffs,” Marchand said.
