Brad Marchand plays the hero and brings the Panthers back to even in the series

12 of Bennett’s 13 goals were scored away from home, an NHL record.

After that goal, the Oilers woke up, and it was quite a first period.

In the space of about five minutes midway through the first period, we were treated to four goals. Three from the Oilers, and one from the Panthers.

After three goals in four minutes, it was tied 2-2, and that’s when Connor McDavid took matters into his own hands, exactly one minute after the Panthers’ second goal.

The best player in the world showed why he has this title, as he made a simply sensational play to serve a perfect pass to Leon Draisaitl.

A simply sensational game, which allowed the Oilers to go into the locker room with a 3-2 lead after one period.

However, the Panthers were better in the second period, scoring two goals to regain the lead. Brad Marchand scored the goal that gave the Panthers the lead.

And in the third period, the Panthers really seemed to be cruising to victory, until 40-year-old Corey Perry decided otherwise with 18 seconds left in the game.

It’s amazing how Perry, in his fifth final in six years, is still going strong at 40.

Unfortunately, Perry’s goal didn’t translate into victory, as in overtime it was the famous rat, Brad Marchand, who played the hero midway through the second overtime.

The Panthers won 5-4 in overtime to level the series.

The next game in the series, Game #3, takes place Monday in Florida, starting at 8pm.

The series is tied 1-1.
