The Carolina Hurricanes will welcome the Ottawa Senators to PNC Arena for an NHL game on Tuesday. The Carolina Hurricanes won 2-1 in their last game over the Islanders. Jordan Martinook scored for the first time in more than two months to break a third-period tie as the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 2-1 on Sunday night. Jesperi Kotkaniemi also scored and Frederik Andersen made 21 saves for the Hurricanes, who’ve won back-to-back games following a stretch of four losses in five games to maintain first place in the Metropolitan Division.
“I feel like I’ve been getting chances and it’s hasn’t been going in,” Martinook said after a span of 24 games without a goal. Ilya Sorokin stopped 33 shots for New York, which was outshot for only the second time in its last nine games. Though they clinched a playoff spot more than a week ago, the Hurricanes are trying to stay ahead of New Jersey in the division. “We have a job to do,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “We want to finish as high as we can. That (Islanders) team is playing for their lives and I thought we looked like the team that was maybe a little more desperate. That says a lot about the group.”
Andersen won for the first time in his last four games (1-2-1), though he has a team-leading 20 wins. Martinook, who has played in all 76 games, gave Carolina its first lead when he skated in from the blue line after taking a pass from Jaccob Slavin. His shot produced his 12th goal of the season, but the first since Feb. 1. “He has been in just some bad luck,” Brind’Amour said. “He has been deserving of a goal like that.”
The Ottawa Senators on the other hand lost 4-3 against the Blue Jackets in their last game. Dylan Gambrell, Mark Kastelic and Alex DeBrincat scored for the Senators, who have lost two straight. Cam Talbot stopped 18 shots for Ottawa, whose playoff hopes are slipping away as the Senators sit six points behind Pittsburgh for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
“I think we had good moments,” Kastelic said. “I think every guy in that room takes a lot of pride in battling. It’s just one of those games where you wish you did a little bit more. An unfortunate ending.” “We had a few too many guys that weren’t ready to play,” Senators coach D.J. Smith said. “In a game like this when your season’s on the line, you have to have them going on a back-to-back.”
