The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Ottawa Senators 2-1 in double overtime on Monday night to take a commanding 2-0 lead in their first-round Stanley Cup Playoff series. The game-winning goal was scored by forward Jordan Martinook at 15:03 of the second overtime period.
Martinook had been denied on a penalty shot by Senators goaltender Joonas Korpisalo earlier in the first overtime. He redeemed himself by capitalizing on a rebound chance, beating Korpisalo with a shot from the slot to end the marathon contest.
Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen was stellar, making 52 saves in the victory. Brady Tkachuk scored the lone goal for the Senators, who now face a significant deficit as the series shifts to Ottawa for Games 3 and 4.
