Jordan Martinook Ends It in Double OT and the Hurricanes Are One Win Away From the Second Round
The Carolina Hurricanes are in complete control of their first-round series. Jordan Martinook scored with 6:07 left in the second overtime period to lift Carolina to a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators in Game 2 on Monday night in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Hurricanes are now up 2-0 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal, one win away from moving on.
Martinook's late heroics erased an earlier overtime chance that didn't go his way. His go-ahead goal came down the slot and silenced a Senators team that was fighting hard to stay alive. Frederik Andersen was rock solid in net, making 37 saves to secure the win. Logan Stankoven and Sebastian Aho had scored Carolina's first two goals to keep the Hurricanes in front through regulation.

Linus Ullmark was fantastic for Ottawa, making 43 saves and keeping his team in the game when they easily could have folded. Drake Batherson and Dylan Cozens scored the Senators' two goals, with Sanderson picking up assists on both. But it didn't matter. Martinook's deep run in double OT ended Ottawa's hopes of staying in this series.
