With seven home wins in cup games, enough for the Carolina Hurricanes to win Game 5 of the series against the New York Rangers, Rod Brindamore’s team is one step away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals. For Rangers, this means they need to continue their impressive 3 win streak in 3 games where the team could have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup.

Game five was the best for the Hurricanes in the current encounter. Speed, the ability to make the most of the opportunities created, great gameplay in the selection and branded “spiky” – all this has reached such a great level that Igor Shesterkin, the main trump card of the opponent could not resist anything. his colleague Antti Raanta he played very reliably and strengthened the reputation of the “home” goalkeeper (0.97 goals in home playoff games).

But Finli didn’t have much to do. Since the second game in the series, Carolina has allowed the Rangers to create no more than 8 dangerous chances per game in a five-on-five game, and the Hurricanes had a double advantage in on-target shots (34 – 27). “This was the game I was expecting. We acted normal, everything was fine today. After the game, Brindamore said, “We want to act exactly the way we want.”

The signature goal for the Hurricanes was a short goal from Trochek, thanks to the team taking the lead. A classy two-on-one counterattack featuring Jordan Staal discouraged the Rangers defense and the protagonist of the previous game, Jacob Truba, who was cut off at another’s blue line.

Four minutes later, Mika Zibanejad turned the numerical advantage and regained the balance, but in the second period Teuvo Teräväinen penalized the New Yorkers for a foul. Andrey Svechnikov and also scored by the majority, and in the third twenty-minute period, Carolina’s Russian striker scored by himself.

Andrei caught the mistake of one of the best defenders in the NHL Man Fox in the middle zone, when you see the opponent tampering with the puck. The bat was hit instantly, and the second spacespeed opened, with Svechnikov dodging the pursuer, but an annoying hand-to-goal shot between the shields looked nice and partially sarcastic. It was Svechnikov’s first goal of the series.

On Saturday, the Rangers will face the daunting task of stopping the now-winner Carolina, who has an almost perfect balance between aggression and emotional recklessness.

The Blue Shirts seemed psychologically lost in the second period after the referees canceled Ryan Strom’s puck for offside and Rangers took the lead. Artemy Panarin and Chris Crider – In this match, he again went to the goal with zero shots.

“I was not disappointed in my leaders, but I was disappointed in our team. I hope we can regroup and win the next game.”– said the “Rangers” head coach vaguely after the game Gerard Gallan.

“We lost 1-3 in the previous series. We were behind 0-2 in this game. And the only thing that matters to us is the next game. We believe in ourselves, we got good momentum after the third and fourth games. Yes, the opponent won today, but it was just a game.”registered ryan strome.
