Red Wings game in Carolina rescheduled for March 27

The Carolina Hurricanes and the Detroit Red Wings have circled March 27 as the makeup date for December's postponed game.

The Hurricanes and Red Wings were originally scheduled to play Dec. 19 at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C., but an issue with the arena's ice cooling system ultimately postponed the game.

As a result of the rescheduling, the teams will now play back to back, with both games taking place in Carolina. The makeup game has been added before an originally scheduled game on March 28. Furthermore, it will mark three games in three nights for the Red Wings, who also host the Minnesota Wild on March 26.

The two teams met earlier this season, with the Red Wings winning the Oct. 25 game by a 4-2 score. Thomas Vanek, Andreas Athanasiou, and a pair of goals by Dylan Larkin pushed the Red Wings to victory.
