The Brad Marchand trade has continued to pay dividends for the Panthers.
Marchand scored the game-winning goal in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, helping the Panthers beat the Oilers, 5-4, and even the series. The former Bruins star’s game-winner came nearly halfway through the second overtime, beating the Oilers’ defense on a breakaway before his backhander trickled past goalie Stuart Skinner.
The goal actually marked Marchand’s second of the night. He scored a short-handed goal on a breakaway that gave the Panthers a 4-3 lead with just under eight minutes remaining in the second period.
