Teravainen scored a power-play goal midway into the second period to
fuel the host Carolina Hurricanes to a 3-1 victory over the New York
Rangers on Thursday in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal
series in Raleigh, N.C.
Andrei Svechnikov and Vincent Trocheck also scored and Antti Raanta
made 16 saves for the Hurricanes, who hold a 3-2 lead in the
best-of-seven series. Game 6 is Saturday in New York.
Carolina improved to 7-0 at home in the playoffs, outscoring the
opposition 25-8 in games in Raleigh.
Mika Zibanejad scored a goal in his third straight game and Igor
Shesterkin turned aside 31 shots for New York.
Ranger star Chris Kreider was held without a shot Thursday and has
registered just one in three road games in this series. Kreider had
a career-best 52 goals in the regular season, and he has a
team-high-tying six in the playoffs.
New York appeared to take a 2-1 lead early in the second period
after Ryan Strome's turnaround shot from the left circle sailed
between Raanta's pads. The goal was negated, however, after Carolina
successfully challenged that Rangers forward Andrew Copp was offside
prior to Strome's tally.

The Hurricanes seized a 2-1 advantage at 9:47 after rookie Seth
Jarvis' diagonal pass found Teravainen, who unleashed a one-timer
deep in the left circle that passed Shesterkin. Teravainen's goal
was his fourth of the playoffs and second in as many games.
Teravainen has recorded a point in a franchise-best seven straight
home games to begin the postseason.
Svechnikov fended off New York defenseman Adam Fox and sent a
backhand shot between Shesterkin's pads to double the advantage with
6:59 remaining in the third period.

Trocheck recorded his first point of the series at 12:57 of the
first period after Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba committed a
turnover in the neutral zone during a New York power play. Carolina
captain Jordan Staal skated in on a two-on-one rush before lifting a
saucer pass that Trocheck converted at the right post.
New York had better results on its next power-play opportunity, as
Zibanejad won an offensive-zone faceoff and one-timed a pass from
Artemi Panarin past Raanta. Zibanejad's goal was his sixth of the
playoffs.
