OTTAWA (AP) ― Jason Spezza was overdue for a goal outburst and he timed it just right to record a milestone in the midst of the Ottawa Senators’ only stop at Scotiabank Place in a span of 10 games.

Spezza scored twice, including his 200th regular-season goal, to lead Ottawa to a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday night.

The 28-year-old center reached the milestone with his second goal of the game on a power play late in the first period. His first tally, a highlight-reel effort 55 seconds in, ended a personal 11-game goal drought.

“It’s been a while since I scored so they usually come in bunches for me,” Spezza said. “It was nice to get my 200th out of the way. It’s obviously a big accomplishment and something to be proud of, so hopefully there’s more to come.”

Erik Karlsson and Sergei Gonchar assisted on both goals.

David Rundblad got his first NHL goal, Zack Smith also scored and Craig Anderson made 34 saves for the Senators, who are on a 4-1-1 run. Ottawa, which closed out a six-game trip Friday with a 6-3 loss in Pittsburgh, begins a three-game trip Tuesday in Winnipeg.

Eric Staal and Alexei Ponikarovsky scored in the third as Carolina twice closed to within one in the final period. Patrick Dwyer also scored for the Hurricanes, who are on a 0-2-1 skid.

“Other than that first minute in the first period, I thought we took it to them and overall played a pretty sound game,” said Cam Ward, who made 21 saves. “It’s frustrating when wins aren’t coming easy and you feel like you played a good game and didn’t get rewarded for it.”

Carolina, which went 1 for 8 on the power play, has won just three of its last 13 (3-9-1).

“We played a good game,” coach Paul Maurice said. “We didn’t get a handle on enough pucks around their net on the power play.”
