DETROIT – Although they ultimately fell to the Carolina Hurricanes at Lenovo Center less than 24 hours ago, the Detroit Red Wings showed a more structured third period and are focused on bringing that effort into Sunday night’s Original Six rivalry game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Little Caesars Arena.

Goalie John Gibson won his seventh straight start as the Wings won their matinee on the moms trip to Washington.

The Detroit Red Wings are set to embark on a short home-and-home series against the Washington Capitals, and the status of two key players was announced following today's practice.

After backing up netminder Cam Talbot in the nation’s capital, goalie John Gibson is set to start for the Red Wings on Tuesday. The 32-year-old is riding a personal seven-game winning streak, an impressive stretch during which he’s posted a 2.00 goals-against average, .934 save percentage and two shutouts.

Moritz Seider scored the winning goal late in OT to give the Wings a 3-2 win over the Caps and their second straight victory.

Lucas Raymond (power play) and John Leonard scored goals 5 minutes, 7 seconds apart midway in the second period, erasing a 1-0 Washington lead, and Talbot (31 saves) ended a personal four-game losing streak. Ethen Frank scored both Capitals goals.
