Big Boys lead Canes to 4-2, Game 5 win.

About this episode

The Canes are one win away from their second Stanley Cup after defeating Vegas 4-2 in Game 5.

The Canes are one win away from their second Stanley Cup after beating Vegas, 4-2.  Andrei Svechnikov scored twice on the power play, Sebastian Aho broke a 5-game goal drought and Jordan Staal scored for the 5th straight game as the big boys backed Brandon Bussi's 2nd win in as many games.  Carolina can close the series out on Sunday in Las Vegas in Game 6.  Bussi made 23 saves in the game as he became the first goaltender ever to make his first two career playoff starts in the Stanley Cup Final and win both.  Staal is the 5th player in history with goals in each of the first 5 games of a Stanley Cup Final series joining a group that includes three Montreal Canadiens legends -- Maurice Richard (1951), Jean Beliveau (1956) and Yvon Cournoyer (1973).  Nikolaj Ehlers had 3 assists and now has 17 points in the playoffs.
