RALEIGH, N.C. - Cam Ward made 42 saves for his second
shutout in a month, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Detroit
Red Wings 3-0 on Wednesday night to remain alive for a playoff
spot.
Jeff Skinner and Derek Joslin scored in the second period before
Erik Cole scored in the third. The Hurricanes have won seven of
nine to move to 89 points and remain in the hunt for just their
second postseason berth since they won the 2006 Stanley Cup.
They need some help to get there, with the clearest path
requiring them to win both of their final two games while the New
York Rangers, eighth with 91 points, lose one of their last two.
Eric Staal added three assists to help Carolina beat Detroit for
the first time since 2006.
Jimmy Howard made 29 saves for the Central Division champion Red
Wings, who lost star left winger Henrik Zetterberg to a lower-body
injury.
