Hurricanes continue hot streak with 5-2 win over Detroit
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) --- Shayne Gostisbehere had a goal and two assists to lead
the Carolina Hurricanes to their fifth straight win, 5-2 over the Detroit Red
Wings on Saturday night.
Jackson Blake, Taylor Hall, Sebastian Aho and Eric Robinson also scored for the
Hurricanes, who have used a 12-game point streak (10-0-2) to surge to the top
of the Eastern Conference with 82 points.
Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen made 27 saves to improve to 14-1-2 in his
career against the Red Wings.
Simon Edvinsson and Patrick Kane scored and Cam Talbot stopped 31 shots for the
Red Wings, who lost for the fifth time in seven games (2-4-1).
The Hurricanes built a 3-0 lead to continue their recent hot play at home. They
lost their first two home games in January but have gone 10-0-1 at home since a
5-3 loss to Colorado on Jan. 3.
Gostisbehere scored at 2:18 in the third period to give the Hurricanes some
breathing room after Detroit cut the margin to 3-2 at the end of the second
period.
Blake, with assists from Gostisbehere and Hall, extended the Hurricanes' margin
to 5-2 with a goal at 5:30 in the third.
Edvinsson scored from the left circle with 1:35 left in the second period to
get Detroit on the scoreboard. Kane scored 47 seconds later to cut the deficit
to 3-2 heading into the third period.
In the first period, Hall scored on a breakaway at 14:05 and Gostisbehere set
up Aho's power-play goal with eight seconds left to make it 2-0. Aho, who
helped Finland win bronze at the Olympics, has seven points in the past six
games. Robinson scored 2:52 into the second period to push the lead to 3-0.
