Bruins takeaways: Another bad start in Game 5 pushes B's to brink ... (NBC Sports Boston)

Carolina got on the board at 6:11 of the first period when defenseman Jaccob Slavin fired a shot past B's goalie Jeremy Swayman from inside the left faceoff ...

Boston's penalty kill was fantastic in the previous two matchups, blocking tons of shots and prevent the Hurricanes from scoring on all 10 of their power-play opportunities. The Bruins' own power play was unable to provide a much-needed spark offensively, failing to score on all three of its opportunities. The Hurricanes played with much more energy and physicality, and their effort was rewarded with a two-goal advantage. That's the team that must show up over the next two games if the Bruins are going to win the series. Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort got a rough whistle after a scrum and was the only player involved to go to the penalty box. The B's now need to win back-to-back games to save their season.

Final shot tally for the first period was 12-8 in favor of the Canes. Jeremy Swayman made a great save in the final minutes of the first to keep the Bruins within two. A small skirmish at the side of the Boston net results in another Bruins penalty. The Bruins will again be without defenseman Hampus Lindholm (concussion), although Lindholm practiced in Boston on Monday, wearing a tinted visor. With McAvoy back for the Bruins, Josh Brown was a scratch. Status quo: No changes for the Hurricanes, with Antti Raanta back in net. More zone time for the Cane 5 v 5: The Hurricanes continue to get the better of the Bruins at 5-on-5, and with no Bruins PPs yet, the advantage is pronounced. Tony DeAngelo teed up a rocket from the center point on a solid in-zone PP set and it flew past Swayman and into the top left corner of the cage. Canes to the PK for the first time: As Jesperi Kotkaniemi tried to swim past Matt Grzelcyk in front of Jeremy Swayman, his stick and glove caught the Bruins’ defender in the face. The Canes get a decent scoring chance shorthanded, the Bruins get nothing, and then Taylor Hall gets a high-sticking penalty after whacking Brady Skjei in the head on a missed lifted stick. Jarvis is Jarvy-on-the-spot, and slides the puck into the net for his second goal of the game. He looked like he had a hold of Wagner’s jersey on coverage in the corner. Pulled goalie for Boston: The Bruins, in desperation more, put the PP unit out and pulled Jeremy Swayman with about 5 minutes to play.
