Carolina's jordan river Martinook won biz 2 in duplicate extra time mon 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.
A goal by Carolina's Mark Jankowski late in the first overtime was overturned on an offside review.
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.
Anderson made 37 saves in his Game 2 win. Ullmark stopped 43 shots in the loss.
The setting now shifts to Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre for Games 3 and 4 of the first round Thursday night and Saturday afternoon.
Carolina is making its eighth playoff run in a row, winning at least a round for five consecutive years. Ottawa is trying to win a playoff round for the first time since 2017.
