Canes-Senators Game 2 nearly ends on historic OT penalty shot after overturned goal

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Hockey history was nearly achieved in the Game 2 of the Carolina Hurricanes-Ottawa Senators first-round NHL playoff series, under a tinge of controversy. Carolina forward Jordan Martinook nearly sent his team to victory on a penalty shot in the first overtime period of a 2-2 game, but was denied by Senators goalie Linus Ullmark. Had he scored, it would've been the first time a Stanley Cup playoff game ended on an overtime penalty shot. But Martinook was only given the penalty shot after a potential game-winning goal from Mark Jankowski was waved off following an offside review. As video replay showed, Martinook had entered the zone just before the Hurricanes center Jordan Staal established control of the puck. Staal then fed Martinook the puck on a partial break, but was hooked by Warren Foegele, leading to a delayed penalty shot call. According to Rule 38.7 of the NHL's rulebook, if a goal is disallowed after following an offside review, the clock is reset back to when the play should've been stopped. And if a penalty or penalty shot is called during that time, it will be assessed. The Canes entered the game with a 1-0 series lead over the Senators after winning 2-0 on Saturday.
