Hurricanes' Cam Ward: Beats tired Red Wings

Ward made 21 saves on 22 shots in Tuesday's home win over the Red Wings.

Analysis:

NHL teams don't play games on three consecutive days very often, but that's exactly what Detroit was doing; the Wings had just beaten the Hurricanes in Carolina on Monday after beating the Wild on Sunday, but their luck ran out in this one. Ward, meanwhile, made a statement after sitting out the last three games; in fact, he hasn't lost in regulation since March 3, although his stats have hardly been impressive.
