The Hurricanes have their backs against the wall down 3-1 in this series coming into Game 5. They will fight for their playoff lives today as they try to avoid being eliminated by the Bruins for the second postseason in a row.
Game Notes
- The Hurricanes seemingly dodged a bullet for the second game in a row on Monday as Jordan Staal took a heavy hit from Charlie McAvoy in the third period and headed immediately to the locker room. He did not return during the game, but practiced yesterday with the team.
