DETROIT (AP) — Jordan Martinook had a goal and an assist, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Jordan Staal also scored for Carolina in its third win in four games. Frederik Andersen stopped 24 shots.

Alex Lyon made 28 saves in the loss.

Martinook converted a backhander from the slot with 1:01 left in the first period. It was his 11th goal of the season.

Staal scored on a wraparound 1:29 into the second. It was Staal’s 12th goal on the season.
