Pyotr Kochetkov became the first rookie in Carolina's franchise history to record back-to-back shutouts as the Hurricanes edged the host Detroit Red Wings 1-0 on Tuesday night.

Kochetkov made 27 saves after stopping all 16 shots on goal in a 3-0 blanking of the New York Islanders on Saturday.

Kochetkov notched his first career shutout against Chicago last month.

Brady Skjei scored the only goal on a power play late in the first period as the Hurricanes finished a six-game road trip with a 5-0-1 mark. They are now 11-3-5 on the road this season.

Ville Husso stopped 26 shots for Detroit. Red Wings center and team captain Dylan Larkin missed the third period due to a hand injury.

Detroit was held scoreless for the first time this season.

The Red Wings had eight shots on goal in the first but didn't have any quality scoring chances during the period as Carolina grabbed a 1-0 lead.

No penalties were called until Detroit's Adam Erne was whistled for slashing Paul Stastny 15:49 into the game. The Hurricanes cashed in on Skjei's fifth goal of the season. He lifted a shot from the right circle over Husso's left shoulder after Seth Jarvis' backhanded setup. Jesperi Kotkaniemi was credited with the second assist.

Detroit had a 13-6 shots on goal advantage in the second period, yet only one of those shots came during its three power plays.

Brent Burns was twice sent off for hooking, first against David Perron and then against Dominik Kubalik. Jordan Staal was whistled for tripping late in the period but the Wings' power play only lasted 1:04, as Kubalik was then sent to the penalty box for tripping.

Detroit only had six shots on goal in the third period. Neither team committed a third-period penalty.

The Hurricanes begin a four-game homestand on Thursday when they host Seattle. The Red Wings were playing the front end of a back-to-back. They will take on Minnesota on Wednesday.
