The Carolina Hurricanes will be closing out their long, two-week road trip this evening in Detroit. The Red Wings are 13-8-6 this year and are right in the thick of the playoff hunt.
The six-game road trip has been a grind but the Hurricanes have grabbed points in all of the 5 previous games. Only losing in OT to the Anaheim Ducks.
Coming off an impressive 3-0 win against the New York Islanders, Pyotr Kochetkov should be back in between the pipes for Carolina.
The Red Wings have lost two straight, with the last game being on Saturday against the Dallas Stars where they lost in OT by the score of 3-2.
