The Florida Panthers overcame what could have been a soul-crushing late tying goal by Edmonton Oilers forward Corey Perry with just 18 seconds remaining in regulation in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final thanks to some clutch heroics from Brad Marchand .
Marchand scored two goals during the game, including the game-winner in double overtime when he beat Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner with a sneaky backhand shot on a partial breakaway, giving Florida a 5-4 victory to even up the series at one win apiece.
To say that Marchand's teammates enjoy having him on their side now would be an understatement. Matthew Tkachuk , who faced off against Marchand twice in the Stanley Cup Playoffs during his time with the Boston Bruins, said he much prefers being his teammate rather than his opponent
