Canes-Senators Game 2 nearly ends on historic OT penalty shot after overturned goal

RALEIGH, N.C. —Hockey history was nearly achieved in the Game 2 of the Carolina Hurricanes-Ottawa Senators first-round NHL playoff series, under a tinge of controversy.Carolina forward Jordan Martinook nearly sent his team to victory on a penalty shot in the first overtime period of a 2-2 game, but was denied by Senators goalie Linus Ullmark. Had he scored, it would’ve been the first time a Stanley Cup playoff game ended on an overtime penalty shot.

As video replay showed, Martinook had entered the zone just before the Hurricanes center Jordan Staal established control of the puck. Staal then fed Martinook the puck on a partial break, but was hooked by Warren Foegele, leading to a delayed penalty shot call.Advertisement
