Carolina continued to knock on the door and even earned a penalty shot in the third period, but Taylor Hall was stymied in the opportunity. The Red Wings finally broke through at 10:05 of the final frame, but drew no closer as Frederik Andersen finished with 24 saves on 25 shots, earning his first win in his last five appearances.

The Red Wings (30-25-6) have lost three in a row in regulation for the first time since a four-game slide from Dec. 20-27, but they maintain the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference with 66 points. Alex Lyon made 28 saves, including stopping Taylor Hall’s penalty shot with 4:38 remaining in regulation.

In an early week matchup between the Carolina Hurricanes and Detroit Red Wings, the Hurricanes rode a strong showing from goaltender Frederik Andersen and an all-around typical Hurricanes-styled game to a 2-1 victory over the Red Wings.

Elmer Soderblom scored, and Alex Lyon made 28 saves for the Red Wings (30-25-6), who lost their third straight game and fifth in seven (2-4-1). It was their first game since a 5-3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2025 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series in Columbus on Saturday.

Jordan Martinook had a goal and an assist as the visiting Carolina Hurricanes edged the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Tuesday night. Jordan Staal had the other Carolina goal, while Frederik Andersen made 24 saves as the Hurricanes won for the third time in four games.
