Hurricanes shut out Senators

Carolina's defense remained disciplined throughout the contest, successfully killing off multiple power plays and benefitting from a called-back Ottawa goal.

The Hurricanes' clinical performance was supported by back-to-back third-period stops from Andersen that prevented a potential Senators comeback.

Ottawa's frustration was evident as they failed to capitalize on quality scoring chances despite high energy from the home crowd.

The series continues Monday night in Raleigh with Carolina holding a 1-0 advantage.
