Ottawa Senators lose Game 2 to Carolina in double OT

Carolina's Jordan Martinook won Game 2 in double overtime Monday night to take a 2-0 series lead to Ottawa.

Martinook — who was stopped on a penalty shot in the first overtime — kept the winning play alive by chasing down a loose rebound toward the boards to keep the possession in the offensive zone.

Moments later, Nikolaj Ehlers found Martinook between the circles to beat Senators goalie Linus Ullmark, who was partially shielded by Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal at the top of the crease, with 6:07 left in the period.

"I didn't feel very good about myself after that penalty shot, and that intermission felt really long," Martinook said.

"That was cool. I'm happy it worked out that way. It didn't matter who scored, but it was going to be a long night if that penalty shot came back to bite me."

A goal by Carolina's Mark Jankowski late in the first overtime also was overturned on an offside review.

"That's the toughest thing: You have it won, a hard-fought game, and then to have it turned over," Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said.

"You've got to give the guys tons of credit, because our game didn't change. We actually got better, I think, in the second overtime."

Like Game 1, Carolina staked out a 2-0 lead in this game. Both games have now included an opening goal by Logan Stankoven assisted by Taylor Hall and Jackson Blake.

Unlike what ended up being a 22-save shutout for Frederik Andersen on Saturday, Ottawa was able to equalize with goals in the back half of the second period from Drake Batherson and Dylan Cozens.

That was despite being outshot 28-16 by the Hurricanes by the end of the second.
