Canes Steal Game Two, Martinook's OT Winner

0:00On April 21st, Carolina Hurricanes just stole Game 2 from the Ottawa Senators in a straight-up marathon double overtime thriller at the Lenovo. Center Tuesday night. Jordan Martinoke dropped the game winner. His first playoff goal, putting the canes of two games to none in the first round series. They swept the first two at home, and now just need two more wins out of five max to punch their ticket to Round 2. It all got wild in the first overtime, with just over three minutes left. Martinoke got hooked by Warren Fogel, leading to a delayed penalty. Then Mark Jankowski banged in what looked like the winner on a rebound. But nope, video review caught an offside by Captain Jordan-style way back at the zone entry, so the goal got wiped clean. Still, rules gave Martinoke a penalty shot, since the hook happened after the offside. Senators goalie Linus Olmark stoned walled him, keeping the crowd on a total emotional roller coaster, erupting cheers turned to stun silence real. Quick, that miss had everyone holding their breath. Martinoke bounced back big though, circling the net in double overtime, grabbing a pass from Nikolage ailer's in the slot, and roofing it gloveside.

1:11Past Olmark, past the halfway mark, shots were 46 to 39 for Carolina, with Frederick Anderson snagging 37 saves and Olmark a monster, 43 stops. Heads to Ottawa for Game 3, Thursday at 7.30 pm. Eastern time, with a sense got a claw back or watched the canes cruise deeper into these. Playoffs. Team coverage, powered by AI, this is NHL News Today.
