We've seen this before and far too many times to start the season.
Wings out shot 21-6 in the first period and the Canes held a 1-0 lead.
Shots after the second 36-12 and the Canes were up 2-0.
Wings played a much better third and Athanasiou made it close with a goal but the Canes put in an empty net goal to put all the Detroit hopes to rest.
Final 3-1.
