No player in Stanley Cup playoff history has tormented an opponent like Florida Panthers winger Brad Marchand has tormented the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Panthers eliminated the Leafs, 6-1, in Game 7 on Sunday night, advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Carolina Hurricanes. With the win, Marchand became the first player in NHL history to defeat the same opponent in at least five winner-take-all games. He moved to a perfect 5-0 in Game 7s against the Maple Leafs -- winning with the Boston Bruins in 2013, 2018, 2019 and 2024, before winning with the Panthers this postseason.
Marchand had a goal and two assists in the victory.
