The New York Rangers looked to be on their way to a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals through two periods in Monday's Game 5 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Unfortunately, a massive collapse in the third period extended the second-round series.
The Rangers allowed four goals in the third period on their way to a 4-1 loss in front of a disappointed home crowd at Madison Square Garden. New York held a 1-0 lead through two periods on a goal by Jacob Trouba and appeared to be in control until things fell apart in the final frame, allowing Carolina to cut the series lead to 3-2 and force a Game 6.
