Todd McLellan talked about mud and Moritz Seider about eyelids as they parsed a third straight loss for the Detroit Red Wings. Their 2-1 defeat to the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday leaves one game to go before Friday's trade deadline.

Netminder Alex Lyon made 28 saves in his first start since Feb. 23 for the Red Wings (30-25-6; 66 points), who lost their third straight game. Stopping 24 shots for the Hurricanes (36-22-4; 76 points), who have won three of their last four contests, was goalie Frederik Andersen.
