For the first time since January 2015, the Detroit Red Wing have won five in a row.
Dylan Larkin played his best game of the season, while scoring two goals as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 at Joe Louis Arena on Tuesday night. The Red Wings remain unbeaten at the Joe (4-0).
Both Andrej Nestrasil and Martin Frk, who were waived and claimed by Carolina last season and this season respectively, played tonight for the Hurricanes, but their impact on the game was minimal. Petr Mrazek made 29 saves on the night.
