The Carolina Hurricanes Need to Win Out and it starts with the Detroit Redwings

The Carolina Hurricanes have hopes of making the playoffs, but if they want to accomplish this feat they need to win all of their remaining games. The Detroit Redwings are the first hurdle on this trip and they could be the toughest one overall.

After a tough loss to Buffalo, the Canes have their back against the wall. The Hurricanes had to feel rather unfortunate by the fact that both Buffalo goals were scored by players scoring their first goals of the season in a 2-1 overtime game Sunday. D Chris Butler and D Marc-Andre Gragnani scored for the Sabres, with Gragnani's winning goal his first NHL goal. The Hurricanes had active defensemen, too, with their blue liners combining to put 10 shots on goal, but none of them found the net.

The Hurricanes figure they must win all three remaining game in order to have a shot at reaching the playoffs. They're in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, and both Buffalo and the New York Rangers are in range of the Hurricanes.

But it's not going to be easy and the Hurricanes will need some help along the way. Winning three games, though, is something they're confident about."We're capable of doing it," defenseman Tim Gleason said. "We're playing well enough to do it."

The task will include Wednesday night's home game against Detroit. Later in the week, there's a visit to Atlanta and the regular-season finale at home against Tampa Bay.

The Red Wings are 9-4 in their last 13 road games and the Hurricanes are 5-16 in their last 21 against the Central. The Canes playoffs chances fade with another loss against Detroit.
