Consecutive home victories versus Pittsburgh and Carolina take the Detroit Red Wings (7th in Atlantic Division) to a road outing against the Winnipeg Jets (4th in Central), who are riding a two-game skid.
A second consecutive victory came about for the Detroit Red Wings (33-32-9), who followed up Tuesday’s 7-4 home triumph against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a 3-2 win versus the Carolina Hurricanes at Little Caesars Arena last night. Jake Walman (9 goals, 15 points this year) buried the winner with just 3.2 second remaining in the game after Dylan Larkin (28 goals, 72 points) tied the contest at 2-2 during power play midway through the second period. Dominik Kubalik (20 goals, 43 points) also scored, while David Perron (19 goals, 49 points) picked up two assists for the Wings, who trail the postseason bubble of the Eastern Conference by nine points with a game in hand.
