The reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers avoided the dreaded 0-3 series hole on the strength of an overtime goal Friday night to climb back into their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Toronto answered back just after the halfway point of the third period through a Morgan Rielly tally, but that was the last Leafs goal of the contest. Florida now has the edge in momentum going into Game 4 on home ice on Sunday, where a Panthers win levels the series.

Brad Marchand's goal in overtime gives the Panthers a 5-4 win, cutting Maple Leafs' edge in best-of-seven series to 2-1.
