It was a familiar script and an all-too-familiar outcome for the Detroit Red Wings as they visited Raleigh to face the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night. Detroit lost for the sixth time in a row on the road against the Canes, failing by a 5-2 count.<\/p>\n
Falling behind 3-0, the Red Wings lost their sixth successive visit to Carolina. All six setbacks have come in regulation time. In each of those six losses, the Wings have surrendered at least four goals.<\/p>\n
