Stankoven scores again, Hurricanes down Senators to complete 4-game sweep
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) --- Logan Stankoven scored the go-ahead goal in the third
period as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated Ottawa 4-2 to sweep the first-round
series.
Taylor Hall added a goal and an assist before Sebastian Aho buried two pucks
into the empty net. Frederik Andersen made 25 saves. Seth Jarvis chipped in two
assists.
Drake Batherson, with a goal and an assist, and Dylan Cozens replied for the
Senators, who put up just five goals in four games and never led against the
Hurricanes. Linus Ullmark stopped 26 shots. Rookie defenseman Carter Yakemchuk
added two assists in his playoff debut.
Of the 213 NHL teams to fall behind 3-0 in a seven-game series, just four have
come all the way back to win --- the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, 1980 New York
Islanders, 2010 Philadelphia Flyers and 2014 Los Angeles Kings.
Ottawa also trailed last spring's first-round matchup with Toronto 3-0 after
seven years outside the postseason tournament before eventually falling in six
games.
