The Hurricanes weren't bad, but after the first they probably weren't the better team. But, they ARE the better team and Nino Niederreiter got them even with a hard-working goal late in the 3rd period. Then Andrei Svechnikov and Freddie Andersen got them across the finish line in the shootout for a 3-2 win over the Senators. The Hurricanes also got a Derek Stepan goal as they moved back into 1st place in the Metropolitan Division.
