Red Wings persevere in tight game, defeat Hurricanes for first win of season

Detroit — It’s been well over a year but the Detroit Red Wings finally have a victory.

Robby Fabbri, who just missed scoring a goal moments before, broke a tie at 17 minutes, 18 seconds of the third period Saturday night, leading the Wings to a 4-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Filip Zadina fed Fabbri to the side of the net, and Fabbri slipped a shot past Hurricanes goalie Petr Mrazek.

Zadina also set up Bobby Ryan for the Wings' first goal, and Dylan Larkin had two goals including an empty-netter at 18:04 to secure the victory.
