RALEIGH, N.C. \u2014 Andrei Svechnikov scored twice and Sebastian Aho added a second-period goal in a breakout game for Carolina\u2019s top-line performers, helping the Hurricanes beat the Golden Knights, 4-2, on Thursday night to move within a victory of winning the Stanley Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Captain Jordan Staal added his fifth goal in the series on a night when Carolina overcame multiple hiccups from these playoffs, from a shaky power play to being outplayed in the second period of this series.<\/span><\/p>\n

And there had been the waiting game for Aho and Svechnikov \u2014 two roster mainstays in an eight-year postseason run \u2014 to find a better offensive groove.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It all came together in Game 5, with Svechnikov\u2019s short putaway at the post on the power play giving Carolina a 4-1 lead midway through the third period. And unlike most multi-goal leads in what has been a wild and thrilling series, this one held up, with Brandon Bussi finishing with 23 saves in his second postseason start.<\/span><\/p>\n
