Through 20 minutes in a potential elimination Game 4, the Ottawa Senators and Carolina Hurricanes are tied 0-0 at the Canadian Tire Centre Saturday afternoon.
The game started all Ottawa, as the Senators amassed three shots within the first 2:20 of the game, while ringing another off the post.
The next five minutes would go in favour of the Hurricanes, however, as they put up four quick shots in response. The most dangerous chance from Carolina’s barrage was from forward Logan Stankoven, who scored the opening goal in the previous three games.
The teams traded two power play opportunities apiece throughout the period, but no goals came from them as Linus Ullmark (seven saves) and Frederik Andersen (nine saves) shut the doors throughout the period.
With Jake Sanderson and Artem Zub out, 2024 seventh overall pick Carter Yakemchuk made his playoff debut for Ottawa. In 5:32 time on ice, the 20-year-old registered one shot.
