Hurricanes look to stay unbeaten vs Red Wings.
The Carolina Hurricanes overcame a pair of multi-goal deficits to capture victories in their first two games of the 2008-09 season.
An early deficit would be a bit more difficult to come back from against the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings on Monday.
Carolina fell behind, 2-0, against the Florida Panthers and 3-0 vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning, but rallied in each matchup to earn the victories.
After upending the Panthers, 6-4, Eric Staal capped the comeback on Saturday with a goal midway through the third period and the game-winner with 24 seconds left in overtime.
Following a 3-2 loss to Toronto in its season opener, Detroit bounced back with a 3-2 win over Ottawa on Saturday.
Johan Franzen scored a pair of goals in the third period, including the go-ahead tally with 1:17 left.
Henrik Zetterberg recorded assists on each of Franzens goals for the Red Wings, who outshot the Senators 41-22.
