Netminder Alex Lyon made 28 saves in his first start since Feb. 23 for the Red Wings (30-25-6; 66 points), who lost their third straight game. Stopping 24 shots for the Hurricanes (36-22-4; 76 points), who have won three of their last four contests, was goalie Frederik Andersen.

There was a stretch late in the second period where the Carolina Hurricanes so effectively pinned the Detroit Red Wings in their own zone that a couple defensemen ended up playing nearly five-minute shifts.
