The Red Wings came into Raleigh Thursday and put together a much more credible and workmanlike effort in a 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.
It wasn’t perfect, and goaltender Jonathan Bernier (38 saves) saved the Wings often. But they certainly erased the memory of a stinging loss in Philadelphia.
“I didn’t think it was pretty in any way tonight,” said forward Frans Nielsen, whose second period goal broke a 1-1 tie. “But we proved to ourselves, especially in the last 40 ( minutes), when we don’t turn the puck over at the lines, and we get it in deep and get a forecheck going, we get more zone time and spend less time in our end.
