RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) \u2014 Shayne Gostisbehere and Andrei Svechnikov each had a goal and two assists and the Carolina Hurricanes snapped a season-worst three-game skid with a 5-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night in a matchup of divisional leaders.<\/p>\n
Jackson Blake and Eric Robinson scored during the Hurricanes\u2019 three-goal second period. Jordan Martinook, who missed the three previous games with an injury, scored his 100th career goal with an empty-netter with 1:21 to play. Brandon Bussi made 18 saves and boosted his record to 12-1-1.<\/p>\n
Michael Rasmussen and Andrew Copp scored for the Atlantic Division-leading Red Wings. John Gibson stopped 33 shots and lost for the first time in nine December outings.<\/p>\n
The Metropolitan-leading Hurricanes held a multi-goal lead in the third period for the fifth game in a row. But, Carolina lost the previous three games in those situations.<\/p>\n
Robinson has scored in three consecutive games for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n
Rasmussen scored his first goal in 13 games and the Red Wings led 1-0 through the first period despite Carolina\u2019s 15-5 edge in shots. It marked only the 22nd first-period goal in 39 games this season for Detroit.<\/p>\n
Blake and Robinson scored 75 seconds apart in the first five minutes of the second period. Gostisbehere added the third goal of the period.<\/p>\n
The Red Wings converted on the game\u2019s first power-play chance when Copp scored 3:11 into the third period. Svechnikov scored with 6:51 to play.<\/p>\n
