RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Shane Pinto scored twice, Linus Ullmark stopped 32 shots, and the Ottawa Senators beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-0 on Friday night.
Nick Jensen had a goal and an assist as the Senators won for the fourth time in five games. Nick Cousins and Michael Amadio both chipped in with two assists.
Ullmark got his second shutout of the National Hockey League season and 10th of his career.
Pyotr Kochetkov made 19 saves, but the Hurricanes were blanked for the second time in six games and lost for the fifth time in the last seven.
Pinto converted from the slot off a short pass from Amadio at 4:04 of the second period to open the scoring. Pinto added an empty-net goal with 47 seconds left.
The Senators beat the Hurricanes for only the sixth time in their last 20 meetings, with the first road win in the season in more than three years.
TAKEAWAYS
Senators: Ottawa’s best groove of the season is largely connected to the defensive end. The Senators haven’t allowed more than one goal in any of their past four victories.
Hurricanes: Carolina has trailed at some point for the 11th straight game.
KEY MOMENT
The Hurricanes threatened a few times in the second period, with Ullmark deflecting Brent Burns’ shot off his mask to maintain the 1-0 lead.
KEY STAT
The Senators killed off two Carolina power plays in the first period, so now they have gone 7-for-7 on penalty kills over the past two games. That’s a good boost for a team ranked 24th in the NHL in penalty-killing.
UP NEXT
Senators: Host the Pittsburgh Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Hurricanes: Host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday.
