Raymond scores in OT, Red Wings end Hurricanes winning streak at five

DETROIT --The Carolina Hurricanes' five-game winning streak ended when Lucas Raymond scored with eight seconds left in overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 4-3 victory at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday.

Raymond scored on a power play after the Hurricanes were penalized for having too many men on the ice at 3:13.
"When you have a 4-on-3 power play, there's so much open ice that you can just keep passing the puck to get a better chance," Raymond said. "[Assistant Alex Tanguay] reminded us to get the puck on the net and make things happen."

Alex Nedeljkovic made 27 saves for the Red Wings (24-24-6), who lost their previous two games, including 10-7 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.
"We needed to get back to defending as a five-man unit instead of defending five 1-on-1s," Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. "We did a much better job of that tonight, and it created some chances for us."
Antti Raanta made 37 saves, and Sebastian Aho scored for the Hurricanes (37-11-5). The too-many-men penalty came after two players collided during a line change.
"We had a couple of weird things go against us tonight, but you have to give the Red Wings credit," Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "We were pretty average tonight, and they played hard."

Aho scored a power-play goal at 13:02 of the first period to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead.
Carter Rowney tied it 1-1 at 12:00 of the second period on a redirection from the edge of the crease.
Michael Rasmussen scored at 2:45 of the third period, taking a pass from Jordan Oesterle and breaking in alone to give the Red Wings a 2-1 lead.
"We've stumbled out of the gate in the last few games, but I thought we were good tonight from start to finish," Nedeljkovic said. "Even when they got the first goal, we kept battling, and when we got a couple of bounces, we capitalized."
Jesper Fast tied it 2-2 at 7:06 when his shot deflected off Rowney's stick, and Jordan Staal scored at 16:12 on a rebound to give Carolina a 3-2 lead.
But Dylan Larkin tied it 38 seconds later after he stole the puck from Carolina defenseman Brady Skjei in the slot to make it 3-3 at 16:50. The goal extended Larkin's point streak to 10 games (seven goals, 11 assists).
"We had the lead, and the puck just bounces over Skjei's stick at the end," Brind'Amour said. "Just a weird play."

Teuvo Teravainen hit the post in overtime, and Raanta made the save on two breakaways before the Red Wings power play.
"I told Teuvo that if hehad scored, we would have been on all of the front pages of the Finnish newspapers," Raanta said. "But they got a couple of good looks and got a bounce at the end. It's tough to look up and see eight seconds left on the clock. It would have been nice to get to the shootout."
NOTES:Teravainen had an assist on Aho's goal. It was the 172nd time each scored a point on the same Carolina goal, breaking the Hurricanes/Hartford Whalers record set by Ron Francis and Kevin Dineen (Hartford, 1984-91; Carolina, 1998-99). The assist also extended Teravainen's point streak to nine games (four goals, eight assists). … Moritz Seider had an assist on the winning goal, extending his point streak to seven games, the longest by a rookie defenseman in Red Wings history. Reed Larson had a six-game streak from Dec. 4-17, 1977.
