Sean Kuraly made his case to be a permanent fixture in the Boston Bruins' lineup.

The rookie forward scored his second goal of Game 5 in double overtime, helping his team avoid elimination and take the opening-round series back to Boston.

Kuraly, 24, entered the postseason with one assist in eight appearances with the Bruins, meaning his offensive outburst in Game 5 marked his first two goals at the NHL level.

The double-overtime winner came after Boston appeared to have won in the fourth period, only to have it disallowed due to goalie interference.

Kuraly, by the way, was inserted into the lineup as a replacement for Ryan Spooner - a decision that certainly paid off for interim head coach Bruce Cassidy.
