Martinook scores winner in double overtime as Hurricanes beat Senators in Game 2
The Ottawa Senators are heading home down 2-0 after losing a dramatic double-overtime Game 2.
The goal came after Martinook nearly scored on a penalty shot as part of a wild chain of events in the first overtime period.
That sequence began when Hurricanes forward Mark Jankowski first appeared to score the overtime winner on a delayed penalty but the goal was overturned due to an offside review. Martinook was still awarded a penalty shot for the Senators’ delayed penalty, but Linus Ullmark made the save to keep the game alive.
After going down 2-0 in regulation, Drake Batherson and Dylan Cozens each scored for the Senators in the second period to even the game.
In the third period, the Senators doubled the Hurricanes in shots but they couldn’t finish the chances, forcing the game to overtime.
For the Hurricanes, Logan Stankoven opened the scoring with his second playoff goal in as many games. Sebastian Aho also scored for the home team.
The Senators and Hurricanes are off to Ottawa where they will meet again on Thursday for Game 3.
