GM wasn't prepared to relinquish high draft picks and premium prospects at the trade deadline for a short-term boost.
DETROIT (AP) — Jordan Martinook had a goal and an assist, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Tuesday night. Jordan Staal also scored for Carolina in its third win in four games. Frederik Andersen stopped 24 shots.
Netminder Alex Lyon made 28 saves in his first start since Feb. 23 for the Red Wings (30-25-6; 66 points), who lost their third straight game. Stopping 24 shots for the Hurricanes (36-22-4; 76 points), who have won three of their last four contests, was goalie Frederik Andersen.
Mrazek could improve Detroit’s play between the pipes, where Alex Lyon and Cam Talbot have struggled of late. But Mrazek hasn’t been great this season himself.
