Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final was a night to forget for Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman and one that could define Brad Marchand’s legacy with the Florida Panthers.

The NHL commemorated a rare postseason milestone on Saturday as the Florida Panthers went on to beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.
