Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask made 31 saves on Saturday, and the defending Eastern Conference champions eliminated the Red Wings with a 4-2 win in Game 5, according to an ESPN.com report.

After finishing the regular season with the best record in the NHL, the Bruins advanced to the conference semifinals against the Canadiens.

"That series was much tougher than maybe the results showed," said Bruins captain Zdeno Chara.
