Marchand Scores OT Winner as Panthers Avoid 0-3 Deficit vs Maple Leafs

Brad Marchand, recently traded to the Florida Panthers, continues to be a significant challenge for the Toronto Maple Leafs in their second-round playoff series. He scored the overtime game-winning goal in Game 3, helping the Panthers complete a multi-goal comeback and avoid a 3-0 series deficit. Marchand's goal marked his 33rd playoff point against the Leafs, ranking third all-time in playoff points against Toronto, and solidifies his reputation as a thorn in the Leafs' side. Despite Toronto's strong start and early lead in the game, Marchand's offensive skill and persistent antics have made him a key player for the Panthers. His acquisition has proven valuable, as he has four points in three playoff games against the Leafs, contributing to the Panthers' momentum. The series continues with Game 4 scheduled at the Panthers' home arena, as the Leafs lead the series 2-1.
