Hurricanes Secure 2-0 Lead, Head to Ottawa

0:00It's April 21st. This is NHL News Today, driven by AI, your team, nonstop. Carolina Hurricanes grabbed the two games to nothing seriously to over the Ottawa Senators with a wild 3-2 double overtime win in game 2. Unlike the clean shutout in game 1, this one was pure chaos with miss calls everywhere and an overturned goal that flipped into a penalty shot. Jordan Martinoke stepped up big time to seal it late in the second overtime. Martinoke had his penalty shot stopped in the first overtime, but he bounced back strong. His teammates himmed Ottawa in their zone, and with a slick screen from Jordan Stahl, he roofed it over Linus Olmarch's glove for the winner after. Nearly five full periods. The Hurricanes' second line has been on fire through these first two games, racking up nine points total. Logan Stankovans got two goals and an assist. Taylor Hall, one goal and two assists, and Blake three helpers. Stankovans riding a 10-game point streak with nine goals in his last 10.

1:03Even with the win, Carolina lead two goals in the second period, which has been their weak spot all season. They head back to Ottawa for game 3 on Thursday, April 23rd, after a couple days off to regroup. Tighten that middle frame and cut the turnovers, and they could crush the Senators at home. Word is, coach might stick with Frederick Anderson, or switch to Brandon Bussey in net either way. Ottawa's feeling the heat now.
