Corey Perry outmuscled Florida winger Eetu Luostarinen to a loose puck with 18 seconds left.

Marchand scored the winner off an Anton Lundell feed, but it was close as he got the backhander to just slide in.

He now has five overtime goals in the playoffs, third all-time, behind Joe Sakic ( eight ) and Rocket Richard ( six ) Marchand also saved the Panthers in Game 3 in round 2 against Toronto with his OT goal after the first two to the Leafs.
