Marchment completes the scoring by coming out of the corner and finding the back of the net.
“Don’t mind if I do,” Marchment, probably.

After the game the teams played a five-minute overtime and a shootout. Driedger made some nice stops in overtime and five out of ten attempts were converted in the skills competition as White got the best of Red by a 3-2 count.
Frank Vatrano (1st), Alex Wennberg (3rd) and Aleksi Heponiemi (5th) scored for White, while Brett Connolly (2nd) and Grigori Denisenko (4th) didn’t.
Duclair (1st) and Jonathan Huberdeau (2nd) got Red off to a good start before Aleksander Barkov, Tippett and Luostarinen came up empty.
Here’s Huberdeau’s pretty shootout goal.
