Marchand scored the deciding goal before Sergei Bobrovsky stopped Mikko Rantanen in the third round of the shootout to seal the win. Rantanen scored with 2:41 remaining to tie it 3-3 and force overtime, coming in from behind the net and redirecting a long pass from Sam Steel that beat Bobrovsky.<\/p>\n
Marchand left the Panthers this week to return home to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to be with longtime friend JP MacCallum whose 10-year-old daughter Selah MacCallum died last Friday at 10 years old from cancer.<\/p>\n
Sam Reinhart scored his 300th NHL goal for the Panthers (6-5-1), who have won three of five. Bobrovsky made 19 saves.<\/p>\n
Rantanen had a goal and an assist, Steel had three assists and Wyatt Johnson also scored for the Stars (6-3-3), who have lost two straight and had their five-game point streak end (3-0-2). Casey DeSmith made 25 saves.<\/p>\n
After a scoreless first period, Marchand gave the Panthers a 1-0 lead 1:48 into the second.<\/p>\n
Anton Lundell got the Panthers going off the rush with Eetu Luostarinen finding Marchand at the blue line. Marchand rolled into the zone and scored off a wrist shot.<\/p>\n
When he scored, Marchand pointed toward the sky.<\/p>\n
Reinhart made it 2-0 at 4:02 of the second, nearly deflecting a point shot from Evan Rodrigues, only the puck went off the goal cage.<\/p>\n
Carter Verhaeghe tracked down the puck and took a shot that DeSmith stopped, but Reinhart got to the rebound and scored on a sharp-angle shot from the goal line that hit DeSmith on the left pad before going behind him and in.<\/p>\n
Dallas got a four-minute power play at 13:25 of the second when Seth Jones caught Justin Hryckowian in the nose with his stick.<\/p>\n
Dallas then scored twice in a 14-second span to tie it.<\/p>\n
Johnson scored Dallas\u2019 first goal of the power play at 14:47 to make it 2-1, scoring on a one-timer from the left face-off circle coming in off the rush with Steel.<\/p>\n
Just 14 seconds later, Hryckowian tied it 2-2 with his first NHL goal when he got in front of the net and popped a pass from Thomas Harley over Bobrovsky and in.<\/p>\n
Bennett put Florida back ahead 3-2 at 12:26 of the third. Bennett went to the net and a shot from Gustav Forsling hit him in the skate down low, and he was able to pull in the puck and put a backhanded shot past DeSmith for the lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marchand scored the deciding goal before Sergei Bobrovsky stopped Mikko Rantanen in the third round of the shootout…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255713,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-255712","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255712"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255712\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
