In Game 1, the Oilers ended the Panthers' 31-game streak of winning when they had a lead after two periods. It nearly happened again Friday, with Perry's late third-period goal that would force double overtime -- only for Marchand's second of the night to win the game.

This is the 23rd multiovertime game in Stanley Cup Final history and first since Game 5 of the 2020 Final when Perry scored in double-overtime for the Stars. Oilers defenseman John Klingberg had an assist on the goal to defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Paul Maurice called Brad Marchand "a unique human" that has found a new home as the best-of-seven series now shifts to South Florida.
