Andrei Svechnikov and Vincent Trocheck, two of the Hurricanes top five scorers in the regular season, each got his first point of the series in Game 5.
In the regular season, Svechnikov was the team's second-leading scorer, with 69 points (30 goals, 39 assists). Trocheck was tied for fourth, with 51 points (21 goals, 30 assists).
Teuvo Teravainen has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 12 games in the playoffs. But the Hurricanes need more from the rest of their big-time scorers to move on.
"We hope," Brind'Amour said, of whether Svechnikov's goal in Game 5 would jumpstart his game. "Obviously we need him to score if we're going to win games, at this time of year especially. That's a huge goal at the right time. I don't know that he was playing lights-out up to that point. But that kind of player has that ability to, out of nowhere, make something happen and that's what happened there."
