DETROIT (Interstat) — Andrew Copp scored 8:27 into overtime to lift the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena. The Red Wings, who led 3-0 entering the third period, saw their advantage erased by a furious Carolina comeback before Copp secured the extra point. He took a feed from Alex DeBrincat in the high slot and snapped a wrist shot past Carolina goaltender Frederik Andersen for his eighth goal of the season. The win pushed Detroit’s record to 28-19, while Carolina fell to 28-18. The result flipped the script from the teams’ previous meeting on Dec. 27, a 5-2 Hurricanes victory in Raleigh. Detroit built its lead with a methodical, disciplined effort through the first 40 minutes. James van Riemsdyk opened the scoring just 1:32 into the game, converting a backhand chance off assists from Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond. The Red Wings doubled their lead at 2:28 of the second period when DeBrincat netted his 24th goal of the season, with Copp and Ben Chiarot drawing the helpers. The Red Wings’ defense and goaltender John Gibson stifled Carolina’s attack for most of the night, but the momentum shifted dramatically in the third. The Hurricanes, who had been held to just 15 shots through two periods, erupted for three goals on 18 shots in the final frame. Jackson Blake started the rally at 12:44 of the third, finishing a play with Taylor Hall and Alexander Nikishin. Seth Jarvis brought Carolina within one just over six minutes later, deflecting a Sebastian Aho shot for his 21st goal. With Andersen pulled for an extra attacker, the Hurricanes completed the comeback with 1:01 remaining in regulation. Shayne Gostisbehere hammered a slap shot from the point through traffic, with Aho picking up his second assist of the period to force overtime. Gibson was instrumental in preserving Detroit’s chance for the win, making 38 saves, including several key stops during Carolina’s third-period surge. Andersen stopped 32 shots for the Hurricanes. The game featured a physical edge, with the teams combining for nine penalties. Carolina’s Jaccob Slavin and Jackson Blake were called for infractions in the first period, while Detroit’s Moritz Seider and Jacob Bernard-Docker took second-period minors. The third period saw five penalties, including a cross-checking call on Detroit’s Albert Johansson and a tripping penalty on Carolina’s Taylor Hall that gave the Red Wings a late power play they could not convert. The Red Wings’ victory was a product of balanced scoring and key performances from their depth players. Beyond Copp’s winner and DeBrincat’s goal, Albert Johansson scored his first goal of the season in the second period, with Patrick Kane and DeBrincat assisting. Van Riemsdyk’s early goal set the tone, and the defensive pairing of Seider and Simon Edvinsson was frequently involved in breaking up Carolina’s offensive zone time. For Carolina, Aho’s two-assist period catalyzed the comeback, while Jarvis and Blake provided the secondary scoring. The Hurricanes’ defensemen were active in the attack, with Gostisbehere’s tying goal and Nikishin’s assist highlighting their involvement. The game’s outcome aligned with the projection from National Statistical’s game simulator, which had forecast a 4-3 Detroit victory. However, it contradicted the same service’s ELO rating, which gave Carolina a 55.6 percent probability to win. The Hurricanes had entered the game as a 1.5-goal favorite on the betting line. The total of seven goals surpassed the over/under line of 5.5. Carolina, which had won three of its last four games, will look to rebound quickly as it continues a road trip against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night. Detroit, which has won four of its last five, heads to Boston to face the Bruins on Tuesday. The overtime loss denied Carolina a chance to gain ground in the Metropolitan Division, while the two points for Detroit provided a crucial boost in the tightly contested Atlantic Division playoff race.
