Final Score: Boston 3, NY Rangers 1

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Gregory Campbell scored the go-ahead and insurance goals, while Tuukka Rask made 28 saves as the Boston Bruins eliminated the New York Rangers with a 3-1 decision in Game 5 of this Eastern Conference semifinal from TD Garden. Torey Krug added another marker for the Bruins, who reached the conference finals for the second time in the last three years. Boston will take on the top-seeded Penguins in the Eastern Conference finals, the first time these two clubs meet in the penultimate playoff round since Pittsburgh swept the Bruins in four straight 21 years ago. Dan Girardi's first-period strike was all the offense for the Rangers, who couldn't maintain momentum from Thursday's 4-3 overtime victory which kept them alive in the best-of-seven set. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 29 shots in New York's season-ending defeat.
