RALEIGH, N.C. - Mark Stone summed it up best.
“It’s a terrible loss is what is,” said a frustrated Stone.
The Senators couldn’t take the easy way out Tuesday night.
So, they had to settle for a point and they weren’t the least bit happy about it.
Just when it looked like the Senators were going to escape with an easy victory against the Carolina Hurricanes, Jeff Skinner tied it up with his second of the night at 19:59 of the third to send it to OT. Rookie Jaccob Slavin scored in the shootout to deal Ottawa’s slim playoff hopes a blow in a disappointing 4-3 loss at the PNC Arena.
