The Canes’ hunt for divine number nine came to an end in Detroit as Carolina fell to the Red Wings 4-2 Tuesday night to end their winning streak at eight.
The effort just wasn’t there as for all intents and purposes it was a one-line game for Carolina. The team only saw extended pressure and chances come from the top line of Sebastian Aho, Nino Niederreiter and Martin Necas and Dougie Hamilton, who put up a career high 11 shots on goal.
The game also was a tale of two netminders as Jonathan Bernier played a great and solid game for Detroit while James Reimer did not look comfortable in a single save he made, or I should say didn’t make.
