It was the first time this season that Toronto has lost when leading after two periods.
Vancouver was down 2-0 heading into the third period but battled back to force the extra time.
The victory snaps a three-game losing skid for the Canucks, who are fighting to keep their dim playoff hopes alive. Marner stayed patient as he streaked into the Canucks zone, waiting for the perfect opportunity to slide the puck underneath the out-stretched stick of Vancouver defenceman Troy Stecher.
He slid it up to Rielly at the face-off dot and sent a snapshot flying through Markstrom’s five-hole.
