Stefan Noesen gave Carolina a 1-0 lead with his 13th goal at 2 minutes, 46 seconds of the first period. Noesen got the puck behind the net, and wrapped the puck between Nedeljkovic and the post, putting the Hurricanes on the board.

It didn't take long for Carolina to add to the lead.

Jordan Martinook scored his 13th goal, on a nice feed from Brady Skjei, making it 2-0 Carolina. Skjei, with the puck at the point, found Martinook all alone near the post to extend the Carolina lead at 7:50.

The Wings cut the lead to 2-1 on Hagg's second goal. Joe Veleno wheeled behind the net and fed Hagg pinching into the faceoff circle. Hagg beat goalie Antti Raanta short-side, at 5:05.

But Carolina answered shortly after, with Brent Burns regaining the two-goal Carolina lead.

Burns ripped a shot from the high slot that deflected off Veleno, battling to the side of the net, and past Nedeljkovic, for Burns' 16th goal, at 9:10.Carolina's Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored an empty net goal to conclude the scoring.Boston Bruins Trøje 2023
