Carolina Hurricanes

Everybody kept on wondering if the Hurricanes could weather the storm of losing two straight playoff games in this series. After all, they hadn’t lost to the Bruins all year so had Boston figured them out or was it an aberration? It seems like they answered those calls just fine.

Goaltender Antti Raanta stepped back into the starting lineup and finished with 34 saves on the night to solidify their win. Rookie Seth Jarvis had a great game, knocking in two goals to give the Canes plenty of breathing room. It is worth noting though that the road team hasn’t won a single game in this series, which does not paint a strong picture for them moving into Game 6. However, if they are able to play how they just did, then they should have no worries.

Boston Bruins

The Bruins completely choked away their chances to keep this game close when they failed to convert on any of their three power play opportunities. And the three was low considering they had 14 in the previous two contests. In two of their opportunities in Game 5, they saw themselves pick up a penalty of their own to negate the man-advantage. Those are simply mistakes that they can’t be making when wanting to win postseason games – especially when going up against a really talented opponent like Carolina.

One positive from the night was that Boston watched defenseman Charlie McAvoy play more than 25 minutes of the game despite not being expected to get onto the ice at all. McAvoy could help push them to a Game 7 if he truly feels 100 per cent healthy.
