SUNRISE, Fla. -- Brad Marchand scored and had the lone goal in the shootout in his return for the Florida Panthers, who recovered to defeat the Dallas Stars 4-3 at Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday.

Marchand scored the deciding goal before Sergei Bobrovsky stopped Mikko Rantanen in the third round of the shootout to seal the win. Rantanen scored with 2:41 remaining to tie it 3-3 and force overtime, coming in from behind the net and redirecting a long pass from Sam Steel that beat Bobrovsky.

Marchand left the Panthers this week to return home to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to be with longtime friend JP MacCallum whose 10-year-old daughter Selah MacCallum died last Friday at 10 years old from cancer.

Sam Reinhart scored his 300th NHL goal for the Panthers (6-5-1), who have won three of five. Bo
