The Carolina Hurricanes fell behind 2-0 and could not overcome the deficit as they lost to the Detroit Red Wings, 5-3 on Friday night.
Early in the second period, Seth Jarvis stole the puck and fed it to Jackson Blake, who stayed hot and buried the shot to make it 2-1.
But the Wings scored two more times within 21 seconds in the second to give them a 4-1 lead.
The Canes would score twice more to make things close again.
Justin Robidas earned his first NHL point when Eric Robinson tipped in his shot.
