A crucial four\u002Dgame stretch of the schedule starts off with a disappointing defeat.
“First period, we didn’t match their intensity and we’re down 2-0,” said Senators coach DJ Smith. “On the road, you spot them two goals, you’re not going to win too often.”
Carolina has been steaming hot since November, with just four losses. The Hurricanes went into Friday’s game with nine wins in the past 10 games. There’s more: They’ve lost just twice in regulation time in the past 16 games. The Senators were also hot, with a 7-2-1 record in their previous 10. But, even at their best, it’s hard to imagine the Senators are in the same class against the Hurricanes, unquestionably one of the NHL’s elite teams.Article contentThe Hurricanes took a 1-0 lead 3:48 in.
With the Hurricanes serving penalties for a good chuck of the middle period, the Senators were able to establish momentum, outshooting the home side 13-7. Ottawa had a two-man advantage for 42 seconds early in the second period and Shane Pinto rang a shot off the goalpost. The Senators got a power-play opportunity when Carolina’s Calvin de Haan was sent to the box for tripping. The Senators had several good chances, with Brady Tkachuk stopped a couple of times in tight. Soon after the Hurricanes killed that penalty, Martin Necas rifled a shot into the net after an Ottawa turnover, making the score 3-0.Article content
