Frederik Andersen made 24 saves and the Carolina Hurricanes boosted their winning streak to six games by beating the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Friday night in Raleigh, N.C.

From young players in the top six to uncertainty in goal, these questions have significant implications in the present and future.
