Recap: Canes Suffer Overtime Loss In Detroit, 4-3

DETROIT, MI. -The Carolina Hurricanes five-game win streak came to a close Tuesday, falling in overtime to the Detroit Red Wings by a score of 4-3.

Three Things:
1) Antti Raanta Was Absolutely Fantastic
Tasked with killing two penalties in the first 6:19, the efforts set the tone for what would be a very busy evening for the Canes netminder. Raanta's first four saves of the night all came shorthanded, buying his club enough time to then strike 13 seconds into their first man advantage.
Throughout the remainder of the contest, Raanta made countless crucial stops to either keep his team in the lead, keep the game tied or keep his club from falling further behind. The 32-year-old Finn faced 14 shots in the third period and then an additional seven in 4:52 of overtime, including at least two breakaways.
The 37 stops he finished with are his most as a member of the team. Despite the result, it may have been his best outing as a Hurricane as well.
2) The Finns Did It Again
Just like Sunday's first period against Edmonton, Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen connected for an early goal. It was the 172nd time the two have factored in on a goal together, marking the most by any duo in franchise history.
Aho's 24th of the season also moved Teravainen's point streak to nine games, the longest streak by a member of the team this season.

3) The Third Line Continues To Click
Jordan Staal and Jesper Fast both scored during the third period, the fourth time in the last five games that their line has produced at least one goal for the club.
Getting to the front of the net continues to be a key factor for the trio and their ability score, as proven again on both markers tonight. First, it was Jordan Staal battling with Carter Rowney out in front as Fast's shot hit the defender's stick and went by Alex Nedeljkovic, then the captain put home a loose puck after Brady Skjei's shot from the point hit Fast in front.
For Staal, it was his third goal in five games and his fourth since the All-Star break.

They Said It:
Rod Brind'Amour'sopening remarks, post-game:
"We had some guys play really hard and really well. I actually thought the Aho line was really good, they just didn't get rewarded for what they were putting out there. I didn't love our second period, we were just flat and it kind of sucked the life out of us. I thought our third period was really good, just a couple weird bounces, right? Some weird things happened. Overall though, we weren't that great, but still in a position to win the game."
Jaccob Slavinon some of the identifying factors of the evening, Raanta and the penalty kill:
"Raants played unbelievable. Countless times he bailed us out. He bailed me out in the third period. We've got a really good penalty kill, but if you give skilled players that much time and that much ice, they're going to try and make plays. That's exactly what wound up happening."
Antti Raantadescribing his night:
"It was kind of easy to get to the game. They got the power play early on and they threw a lot of pucks in. It helps you get yourself into a rhythm and get inside the game. There were a lot of really good things, but then there were also some goals that maybe I'd like to do different things to try and make those saves. It was one of those games. There were a lot of good things, but if you let in four goals, you can always do a little bit better in your small details. It was a tough game though, they played really well."
What's Next?:
