Ottawa went up 2-0 with 10:55 remaining in the third period. The puck went into the net off Carolina forward Martin Necas’ skate, but goaltender interference had been ruled on Formenton.
The Senators challenged the ruling, and it was overturned. That gave Formenton his second goal of the game and fourth of the season.
Carolina held a 20-3 edge in shots through the first period, but Ottawa owned the lead. Formenton’s first goal came when the Senators completed a nifty transition sequence.
The Hurricanes failed to score a first- or second-period goal for their third consecutive game. Svechnikov’s shot bounced off the post on a power play in the waning seconds of the first period.
