Skjei, who sat out the previous four games with a concussion, showed patience on his goal at 4:40 of the second period. He took a pass from Aho before unleashing a shot as he approached the slot to open the scoring.

The second goal came after Troy Stecher's turnover. Carolina's Brett Pesce recovered the puck, and Foegele converted from in front of the net at 13:29 of the middle period.

A Hurricanes turnover in their zone led to Detroit's goal at 17:31 of the second, with Vrana doing the nifty stick work to send the puck past Reimer.
