It might not have been picture perfect, but the Hurricanes did not leave much to complain about in a season-opening 3-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings.
Petr Mrazek didn’t have to do much in a dominant possession night for the Hurricanes, but did turn aside all 14 shots he faced as he picked up the shutout to kick things off. The Hurricanes peppered Thomas Greiss with 43 shots on the other end, and he held down the fort for most of the night until the Canes score twice in the final 2:28.
Forwards Nino Niederreiter, Ryan Dzingel and Andrei Svechnikov all scored for Carolina.
