It had its shaky moments, but the Carolina Hurricanes picked up their third straight win Tuesday night thanks to an overtime winner from Martin Necas over the Ottawa Senators.
In their penultimate home game of the regular season, the Canes took a 2-0 lead against debutant Leevi Merilainen, saw that lead slip away and then got the two points anyway in overtime.

Martin Necas is making quite the overtime name for himself.
His game-winning goal Tuesday, a powerful wrister from the slot set up by a great play from Seth Jarvis, was his fourth overtime goal of the season, the most in the NHL this year and the most in a single season in Carolina history.
