Boston hopes a little home cooking can help force series with Ottawa to Game 7

BOSTON (AP) — Bruins rookie Sean Kuraly's goal in double overtime Friday sends the series back to Boston for Game 6. The Bruins are trying to overcome a 31 series deficit for the first time in franchise history.

Ottawa blew a two-goal lead in Game 5, continuing a leaguewide trend. The Senators and Bruins also played the 15th overtime game of the first round, and given the tightness of this series, more free hockey could be in the offing.

"We knew it wasn't going to come easy, it hasn't come easy for us," Boston forward David Backes said.

Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said center David Krejci, who left Game 5 with a lower-body injury after a knee-on-knee hit from Chris Wideman, was getting treatment and is considered day to day. Defenseman Torey Krug is skating, but he still seems a ways away from rejoining the lineup.

With Krug, Brandon Carlo and Adam McQuaid out, rookie Charlie McAvoy played 31:14 Friday, and Joe Morrow 29:54.
