Canes sweep Senators out of the playoffs, 4-2.

The Canes won the type of game you would have never thought they could win. A penalty-filled, post-whistle scrum-laden, 4-2 affair, as they completed a 4-game sweep of their opening round series with the Ottawa Senators. Taylor Hall and Logan Stankoven scored for the Hurricanes as they took a 2-1 lead into the latter stages. Sebastian Aho scored a pair into an empty net. Frederik Andersen stopped 25 shots as he went 4-0 with a .955 save percentage. Carolina finished the series 2 for 15 on the power play while Ottawa went 1 for 21. Taylor Hall led the series in scoring with 7 points (2g, 5a) and Logan Stankoven's 4 goals led in that department.
