Detroit started the third with a 3-0 lead and gave up three goals as Carolina tied it.

Frederik Andersen stopped 14 shots for the Hurricanes, who evened it with Jackson Blake's score, Seth Jarvis short-handed goal and Shayne Gostisbehere's goal on a power play with 3:01 left in the third.

Little Caesars Arena was buzzing with excitement for the game because Hockey Hall of Famer Sergei Fedorov had his No. 91 jersey retired and the Red Wings kept fans in a good mood for most of the night.

James Van Riemsdyk took advantage of time and space to score on a rebound in front of the net on a power play, scoring on Detroit’s second shot of the game at 1:32.

DeBrincat gave the Red Wings a two-score lead early in the second period with his team-high 24th goal and a few minutes later, he and Patrick Kane assisted on Albert Johansson’s goal that made it 3-0.

The cushion wasn't comfortable.
