04/20 22:53 CDT Martinook's goal lifts Hurricanes past Senators 3-2 in 2OT in NHL playoffs Martinook's goal lifts Hurricanes past Senators 3-2 in 2OT in NHL playoffs By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) --- Jordan Martinook beat Linus Ullmark from the slot at 13:53 of the second overtime to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 on Monday night and take a 2-0 lead in their first-round series in the NHL playoffs. Martinook --- who was stopped on a penalty shot in the first OT --- 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 Ullmark, who was partially shielded by Carolina captain Jordan Staal at the top of the crease. That set off a mob celebration by the Hurricanes around Martinook in a corner of the ice, ending a game that saw them hang on despite blowing a 2-0 lead and having an apparent winner by Mark Jankowski waved off in the first overtime due to an offside call on review. The series moves to Canada's capital for Game 3 on Thursday. ___ AP NHL playoffs: https://apnews.com/hub/stanley-cup and https://apnews.com/hub/nhl
