Once upon a time, the Carolina Hurricanes went 23 years without winning a game when visiting the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena. With the Wings moving down the street to the new Little Caesars Arena this season, the Hurricanes left that history in the past, and are 1-for-1 in the Wings’ new digs after a 3-1 win on Saturday night on the strength of a pair of power-play goals from Elias Lindholm.
Coming off of a week away from the rink, the Canes certainly did not open the game looking the traditional part of a team returning from a bye week.
