The New York Rangers were headed for another sweep. Now they’re fighting to close out Carolina

Associated Press  

RALEIGH, N.C. — The New York Rangers looked headed for an easy push through the second round of the NHL playoffs when they quickly moved within a win of a sweep of the Carolina Hurricanes. “In order to get to that point for the fourth win, you’ve really got to make sure your game is on point as well.” New York swept Washington in Round 1 and reached 7-0 in the playoffs after three one-goal wins to start this series, with Games 2 and 3 coming i n overtime. Laviolette said the Rangers “know where we’re at,” while captain Jacob Trouba — whose short-handed goal in Game 5 was New York’s only score — said the team has responded before from bad outings. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch didn’t rule out staying with Pickard after Game 4, saying his performance “allows us to have a lot of confidence in him if we did do that.” Vancouver has been relying on 23-year-old Arturs Silovs in net since Thatcher Demko and backup Casey DeSmith suffered lower-body injuries in Round 1 against Nashville.
