NHL Playoffs Record Equaled: Marshawn Matches Ovechkin's Goal Tally in Postseason Games
In the semifinal series, Florida outclassed Carolina with a convincing 6-2 victory, extending their dominance to a commanding 3-0 lead. The game's sixth goal was scored by forward Brad Marchand of the Panthers, bringing his career playoff tally to an impressive 60.
This latest milestone makes him the fourth active National Hockey League (NHL) player to surpass the 60-goal mark in Stanley Cup playoffs.
Marchand also added his 10th goal against Carolina in the playoffs, having previously netted 13 against Toronto. He is now among four active players who have scored 10 or more goals against two different teams in Cup games, following in the footsteps of Alexander Ovechkin, who has achieved the same against two teams.
Additional highlights from the recent games include USA's rout of Sweden, advancing them to the World Championship Final 2025, Florida's third shutout in the playoffs courtesy of goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky, and Switzerland's crushing 7-0 victory over Denmark, setting them up for a spot in the World Hockey Championship Final.
Bookmakers might be intrigued by Brad Marchand's impressive run in the NHL, as he scored his 10th goal against Carolina in the Stanley Cup playoffs, making him one of four active players who have scored 10 or more goals against two different teams, having previously netted 13 against Toronto. In the same tournaments, he also stands as the fourth active player to surpass the 60-goal mark, following in the footsteps of Alexander Ovechkin.
