Sean Kuraly keeps Bruins’ season alive with two goals in Game 5 victory
OTTAWA — People of Boston may not have been too familiar with the name Sean Kuraly before. He’s now the toast of Beantown.
The 20-year old from Dublin, Ohio not only tied the game in the second period Friday but he won it in double overtime, giving the Bruins extended life in its playoff series with the Ottawa Senators with a 3-2 win.
The goals were the first and second of Kuraly’s young career. He was playing in his 10th NHL game and just his third in the playoffs.
“It feels good to keep the series going and do what we came here to do. It’s a good night,” said Kuraly, after he helped the Bruins stay alive in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final they now trail 3-2.
