After cutting the Hurricanes' lead in the best-of-seven series to 3-2 with a shutout romp in Game 5, the Boston Bruins are looking to even things in Game 6 tonight and go back to Boston for a decisive Game 7.

Defenseman Aaron Ward is a question mark after he was dropped to the ice in the final minutes of Game 5 by a right cross from Carolina's Scott Walker, who was not suspended but was fined $2,500 by the league.
The heat is on the underdog Hurricanes to close out the series on home ice.

They would prefer not to make another trip to Boston for a winner-take-all Game 7, a matchup in which they'd face the pressure of possibly blowing a 3-1 series lead. Get all your NHL playoffs odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
