New York Rangers vs Boston Bruins May 25, 2013

Game 5 between the Boston Bruins and the New York Rangers is about an hour away, and the Blueshirts will be looking to stave of elimination for the second game in a row. Game 4 required several gutsy comebacks and overtime, but New York managed to avoid the sweep.

Now, the Rangers will try to take one more step towards history.

Only three teams have returned from a 3-0 hole. Most recently, the Philadelphia Flyers turned the trick on these same Bruins in 2010. That series isn't a factor in this one, however, and the B's will likely come out flying on home ice.

Tuukka Rask will look to rebound from a so-so effort in Game 4 that saw him give up two fluky goals. Games like that rarely come in pairs, though, and the Rangers will likely have to find more conventional ways to score goals.

Puck drop is set for 5:30 p.m. ET, and the game is available on NBCSN in the United States.
