Dubois extended that edge in the third, creating enough room to withstand S. Bennett’s very late Panthers goal.

IHM Comment: The Blues had the first lead through J. Snuggerud, but S. Stamkos answered before the opening period was out. R.

Perbix added late insurance.

Standout players: S. Pinto (1 G, 1 A); M. Amadio (1 G, 1 A); S. Ersson (30 saves); K. Vejmelka (17 saves).

IHM Comment: Ottawa’s third period was a series of answers rather than a straightforward pull-away. M. Amadio broke the deadlock, B. Hayton levelled for the Mammoth, and N. Cousins supplied the go-ahead goal with little more than two minutes remaining. S. Pinto’s late empty-scoreline addition made the Senators’ finish decisive.

Svechnikov scored in both the second and final periods. Chicago did respond with R. Kantserov and C. Bedard, but the Hurricanes’ early separation was overwhelming.

Draisaitl quickly made it a two-goal advantage. B. Boeser’s late reply invited pressure, only for Draisaitl to seal matters in the closing minute.
