Dorofeyev Puts Up Two, But Hurricanes Close the Door

Dorofeyev did his part and then some, but it was not nearly enough to tilt Game 5. The kind of night that leaves a scorer with numbers and a team with a long flight home usually starts with a few missed details, and this one had that feel early. Carolina handled the margin the way good playoff teams do - without panic, without much drama, and without giving Vegas much oxygen. The series now has the kind of pressure that exposes every little crack, and that is where things get interesting.
