Such a scene would have been simply unimaginable just a few months ago. Brad Marchand scores an overtime goal to win a playoff game, and Florida Panthers great-turned-executive Roberto Luongo pumps his fists and gives some hugs in celebration.

"Brad Marchand (36 years, 363 days) became the oldest player in Panthers playoff history with an overtime goal, besting the previous mark set by Mike Hough (33 years, 96 days in Game 5 of 1996 CSF)," the NHL noted on X.

The Panthers’ third-line forwards were their top three point-scorers in the playoffs, heading into Game 3 of their second-round series against Toronto. Getting more offensive production from Marchand, center Anton Lundell and winger Eetu Luostarinen has paid dividends. All three were among the team’s best in plus-minus.
