EDMONTON, Alberta -- Brad Marchand scored the last two Florida Panthers goals on breakaways in their 5-4 double-overtime victory in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Friday night. He said he had only one thing running through his mind on both scoring chances.
"Just don't forget the puck," he said. "That's the main thing. I've done that before. It's not a good feeling."
The Panthers, the defending Stanley Cup champions, evened their series with the Edmonton Oilers at 1-1 in a thrilling, often chaotic playoff battle.
Marchand became the first player in Stanley Cup Final history to score a short-handed goal in regulation and then the game-winning goal in overtime.
"He just finds a way," Florida defenseman Nate Schmidt said. "I don't think the moment ever gets too big for him."
