The Panthers were 18 seconds away from closing out Game 2 in overtime. But Oilers forward Corey Perry had other plans, scoring a game-tying goal with 17.8 seconds left in regulation.

Instead of crumpling, Brad Marchand scored the double-overtime game-winner for Florida, giving the Panthers a 5-4 overtime win and sending the. Stanley Cup Final to Sunrise with the series knotted at one win each. Game 3 is at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday.

Marchand scored the go-ahead goal in the second period before scoring the winner on a breakaway 8:05 into double overtime. The puck snuck through Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner’s legs, clinching the victory for Marchand’s new t eam.

Hours before Marchand’s game-winner, the Panthers scored the opening goal on an early power play after Evander Kane caught Carter Verhaeghe in the face with a high stick. Sam Bennett, who scored twice in Florida’s Game 1 loss, capitalized on the man advantage with the game’s first goal. Nate Schmidt got the assist on the goal after notching two assists in Game 1.

Bennett has 13 playoff goals, 12 of which have been on the road, which is a new NHL record.

But Bennett’s goal would not keep the Panthers ahead for long. Kane made up for his earlier penalty with a goal 7:39 into the first period, knotting the score at one.

Defenseman Evan Bouchard, who is one of the league’s top offensive defensemen, got his own rebounded puck after Aleksander Barkov blocked his shot. Bouchard’s second shot attempt got through Florida’s defense and past Sergei Bobrovsky, giving the Oilers the lead.

The Panthers were not about to go down without a fight. The eventful first period continued with a pass across the offensive zone from Eetu Luostarinen to Seth Jones, and Jones scored on a wide-open net to tie the game at two. It was his first career Stanley Cup Final goal.

Leon Draisaitl, the hero of Game 1, put Edmonton back ahead on a power play. Bennett was in the penalty box for goaltender interference after he fell on Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner.

Florida spent much of the first half of the second period in Edmonton’s zone, and the sustained pressure paid off with a long-range Dmitry Kulikov goal that tied the game with 11:37 left in the second period.

Marchand scored the go-ahead goal later in the period as the Panthers rolled the Oilers in the second frame. Florida out-shot Edmonton 16-7 in the second period and had 34 shot attempts to the Oilers’ 13.

Edmonton was the team with the sustained pressure for much of the third period. But thanks to key defensive plays by Panthers like Gustav Forsling and Eetu Luostarinen, Florida kept Edmonton from evening the game until the final moment. It looked like Marchand’s first goal would be the game-winner until Perry’s last-minute, game-tying goal.

Marchand, who Florida acquired in a trade with Boston in March, was inches away from scoring the overtime winner, but Skinner made an excellent save to deny the veteran, and his second chance hit off the post. Sam Reinhart had a chance to end the game with a breakaway, but his shot missed the net.

Lundell set up Marchand for his second breakaway of the game, and Marchand did not miss that time.
