Brad Marchand had the potential winning goal of the match for a while – when he was torn from him, he compensated.
The title champion of the Stanley Cup, Florida Panthers, equalized the final on Friday evening with the goal of a double extension merchant, giving the Cats a 5-4 victory in match 2 against the Edmonton Oilers.
After scoring three goals in the first 12:37 of the match, Edmonton could no longer find the back of the net.
In despair mode and down 4-3, the Oilers pulled Stuart Skinner from the net with 2:33 on the left in regulation, which seemed early, but with the washer in the other area on a playing, they could enjoy it. And they did it.

With 17.8 seconds to do, a washer was loose in front, and Corey Perry, 40, trapped him at home to equalize the match at four. After authorizing one goal in three of his first seven shots faced, Sergei Bobrovsky stopped each of the next 24 before authorizing the one who sent the competition in overtime.
The two teams had their chances in overtime, in particular the panthers, who hit the post on a blow and were saved, but the two teams were bleached. With a little more than eight minutes after the start of the second extension period, Marchand did it again, climbing one by Skinner on a breakaway and giving a huge victory.

Like match 1, the score started early – this time with the Florida Panthers marking first.
Sam Bennett, who fought his own teammate Matthew Tkachuk in the 4 nations while teaming up with Connor McDavid from Edmonton, found the bottom of the net just two minutes from the match, but about five minutes later, Evander Kane scored an equalizer.
Edmonton went on the power game and scored again, but Florida responded immediately to equalize the match at 2:37 am. During another power game, Leon Draisaitl scored to give the Oilers an advance of 3-2, capping five goals in the first 13 minutes of the match.
While the Oilers offensive has cooled in the second, Florida did not do so. Dmitry Kulikov equaled it to 8:23 in the period, and Marchand gave the advance in Florida with a goal in lack of hand four minutes later. The head of 4-3 panthers held up until Perry’s miraculous goal at the end of the third.

The merchant’s hero was an acquisition of delay in commerce, almost literally exchanged from his longtime former Boston Bruins in the south in the last minutes. Trade was worth it.
Match 3 will take place on Monday evening in Florida, which organized a final match of the Cup for three consecutive years.
