The Carolina Hurricanes will face the Detroit Red Wings (15-9-4) tonight in the final game of their season long, six-game road trip.
The Hurricanes are coming off of a 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators, a game which snapped their four-game losing skid.
Sebastian Aho led the way on Tuesday with two goals and three points and Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 31 of 32 in the win.
The Hurricanes will be hoping that those good vibes carry over.
The Red Wings are coming off of a 6-4 win over the St. Louis Blues, however the team has suffered quite a few significant injuries as of late losing both their top two centers. They are also missing two wingers, one to injury and the other to suspension.
On the other hand, they did add Patrick Kane this week so they have that going for them at least.
