Raanta's shutout gets Hurricanes past Sens

Antti Raanta made 32 saves for his third shutout in 21 appearances this season, and the host Carolina Hurricanes beat the Ottawa Senators 4-0 on Friday night.

Brent Burns, Seth Jarvis, Martin Necas and Brady Skjei scored in Carolina's fifth straight win and 12th in 13 games overall. Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho each had two assists.

The Senators were blanked for the second time this season, and they went back-to-back games without a team point for the first time in more than a month.
