The Hurricanes lead the league with 41.1 shots per game. No other team is above 40 shots per game.
The Wings rank 29th at 28.3 shots per game.
"Having played them the first game, I would hope our team is better prepared for what they're going to see here tonight in terms of how hard they're going to come at us," Blashill said. "I didn't think we were quite ready to play, I know we weren't ready to play and they're a hard team if you're not ready to play so we better come out here ready to play and better come out here ready to compete and work. I thought their group outcompeted and outworked Chicago for the first part of that game the other night. If that happens to us, then it's going to be a tough night. But if we come ready to work and compete, then we can take advantage of some things and try to end up where it's a positive night for us."
Sebastian Aho leads the Hurricanes with 18 points (4-14-18) in 16 games.
The Wings gave up two power-play goals in that 3-1 loss, to Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk and forward Micheal Ferland.
Andreas Athanasiou scored the only goal for Detroit.
Former Wing Petr Mrazek started in goal in that game in Detroit but Scott Darling gets the call tonight in Carolina.
In two career games against the Wings, Darling is 0-2-0 with a 3.54 goals-against average and .883 save percentage.
NO DE LA ROSE: The Wings also gave up two power-play goals in Friday night's 3-2 overtime win over the New York Rangers when Jacob de la Rose was in the box for four minutes for high-sticking.
de la Rose suffered an upper-body injury in the second period against the Rangers and won't play in Carolina.
"I can't say for sure how long," Blashill said. "Could be as little as day to day and back Tuesday or it could be longer so we'll wait and I'll have a better evaluation on Monday."
Wade Megan, who was a healthy scratch against the Rangers, will draw back into the lineup.
Megan has played in three games for the Wings after starting the season in Grand Rapids with the AHL's Griffins.
"I think he's really smart, I think he's strong on the puck, I think he's got lots of poise," Blashill said. "Surprised he honestly hasn't played more NHL games. He's just a good, accountable, reliable-type player. (Griffins coach) Ben Simon told me that he thought I was going to really like him coming into camp and he's certainly been right. He's done a good job for us."
