The Boston Bruins could be in a tough position when it comes to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. 

The status remains unclear regarding defenseman Zdeno Chara and Matt Grzelcyk and Cassidy is considering going with seven defenseman if they both can't play. 
While the injury situation might not be in the Bruins favour, the stats might be. 
NBC Sports Boston pointed out a couple of stats from the Bruins following a 2019 postseason loss:
--Five wins, one loss--Boston has lost back-to-back games only once (second round versus the Columbus Blue Jackets), and it won eight straight matchups after that--26 goals scored, 12 against--Power play is 11-for-20 (55 percent)Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask has been very good after losses, too, with a .940 save percentage in those six games.

Thursday's Game 5 is absolutely huge for both teams as the series has now become a best of three.
