RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Ottawa Senators try to extend their unbeaten streak over the Carolina Hurricanes to 11 games Tuesday night as the teams meet for the third time this season.

Ottawa is 7-0-3 in the series since October 9, 2001. The Senators posted a 6-1 home win on November 20 and settled for a 2-2 tie here January 11.

Marian Hossa scored two power-play goals for the Senators, who outshot the Hurricanes, 40-20.

The Senators are just one point behind the rival Toronto Maple Leafs in the tight Northeast Division. They are 11-2-4 in their last 17 contests after Monday's 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders.

Chris Neil and captain Daniel Alfredsson scored 68 seconds apart early in the third. But goaltender Martin Prusek gave up tallies 21 seconds apart less than eight minutes into the third.

Carolina is 1-3-1 in its last five games and fell five games under .500 for the second time this season with Sunday's 5-2 home loss to the Atlanta Thrashers.

The Hurricanes were in a close game, couldn't score on a two-man advantage and allowed a shorthanded goal to Daniel Tjarnqvist.
