Last night didn’t end so well for the Carolina Hurricanes, and they will be headed to Nashville with 2 out of a possible 4 points from their first two games this season.
The Detroit Red Wings, surprisingly enough, were just flat out the better team last night. From goaltending, to defensive pressure, to offensive prowess, the Red Wings seemingly skated circles around the Carolina Hurricanes, mostly for the first two periods of the game.
