Players to Watch in Game 5

Brad Richards (NYR)

Richards has had a tough series but has generated chances and has helped set up others. He is due for a big game and always comes through in the clutch. For all intents and purposes, Game 5 is an elimination game and a must-win, and it's a situation that Richards is very comfortable with. 

Travis Zajac (NJD)

Travis Zajac has played great against the Rangers and got on the board in Game 4. Zajac is a skilled player who will take tons of shots in Game 5 and will look to set up others to score.
