Simon Edvinsson and Patrick Kane scored for the visiting Red Wings. Cam Talbot made 31 saves in the loss.

Hall made no mistake with 5:55 left in the first period as he broke through and made a slick backhand-forehand deck before putting the puck in the back of the net to put the Hurricanes up 1-0.

Carolina took advantage of the first power play of the game with 8 seconds left in the first half when Aho pushed a low shot that bounced off a defender’s stick into the back of the goal.

Robinson made it 3-0 for the Hurricanes less than three minutes into the second period, firing a shot past an outstretched Talbot.

Talbot made his best save of the night with 9:36 left in the middle frame, sliding quickly across the crease to rob Logan Stankoven.

Edvinsson got the Red Wings on the scoreboard with a 4-on-4 goal with 1:34 left in the second period as the young defenseman took a pass from Alex DeBrincat and sent it past Andersen and into the top corner.

Kane made it a one-goal game just 47 seconds later when he fired a shot over Andersen’s shoulder on the short side for his first goal in the last 15 games.

Gostisbehere went on a quick strike with Blake and then fired a shot past Talbot to retake Carolina’s two-goal lead 2:18 into the third period.

Blake scored his own goal in a 2-on-1 situation, looked at a pass, and sent a shot to the other side of the net with 14:30 left in the third to make it 5-2.
