Tim Stutzle, Shane Pinto and Dylan Cozens each had a goal and an assist for the Senators (40-27-10), who have won two of three. Linus Ullmark made 25 saves in the second of back-to-back starts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Senators hold the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference, one point ahead of the New York Islanders.<\/p>\n
Andrei Svechnikov, Logan Stankoven, and Taylor Hall scored for the Hurricanes (49-22-6), who had won three straight and remain in first place in the Metropolitan Division and Eastern Conference. Frederik Andersen made 26 saves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stankoven gave the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead on the power play at 5:22 of the first period. Nikolaj Ehlers attempted a backhand-forehand move down low, but lost control of the puck, which slid into the slot to Stankoven, who buried it past Ullmark.<\/p>\n
Cozens tied it 1-1 for the Senators on the power play at 7:17. Drake Batherson sent the puck into the slot to Stutzle, whose rebound went to Cozens for a backhand past Andersen.<\/p>\n
Stutzle gave Ottawa a 2-1 lead at 8:51 with a highlight-reel goal. He intercepted a pass at the blue line in the defensive zone and broke in alone before deking to the backhand, forehand, and backhand to beat Andersen.<\/p>\n
The Hurricanes tied the game 2-2 at 19:40. After two failed clearing attempts with Ottawa\u2019s fourth line hemmed in their own zone, Svechnikov put a shot on net that created a loose puck in front. Warren Foegele attempted to push it to Ullmark\u2019s glove for a cover, but Svechnikov reached it first and slid it past him.<\/p>\n
Tkachuk regained the lead for the Senators, tipping an Artem Zub blast from the blue line to make it 3-2 at 8:33 of the second period.<\/p>\n

Claude Giroux added an empty-net goal for the 6-3 final at 19:01.<\/p>\n
