DETROIT, MI – The Carolina Hurricanes (46-24-4) look to continue their winning streak tonight as they face the Detroit Red Wings (34-33-7) at 7 PM Eastern. The game will air locally on the FanDuel Sports Network.

Coming off a dominant 5-1 victory over the Washington Capitals, the Hurricanes secured their seventh consecutive playoff berth. While emotions ran high in the previous game due to physical play from the Capitals, the Canes are expected to maintain focus tonight. Goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov is anticipated to start, and the lineup is expected to remain largely unchanged despite injuries to Andrei Svechnikov and Jordan Staal. The Hurricanes, known for their discipline, are among the NHL’s least penalized teams for major infractions.

The Red Wings, meanwhile, are battling for a Wild Card playoff spot, making this a significant matchup. Carolina will aim for a victory without incurring further injuries.

Adding depth to the roster, rookie forward Justin Robidas, who recorded 48 points in 65 games with the Chicago Wolves, has been recalled. His role in tonight’s game remains to be seen, with potential line combinations including Martinook-Kotkaniemi-Stankoven. The Hurricanes will be hoping Robidas can contribute immediately.
