Stupid Stat of the Day for January 12, 2026; Detroit Red Wings vs. Carolina Hurricanes.
The Red Wings are unbeaten in regulation all-time on nights that they retire a jersey number while playing against a team that previously relocated from a different market.
The Red Wings beat the Dallas Stars (former Minnesota North Stars) on April 29, 1995, when they retired Sid Abel’s #12. Detroit raised Nicklas Lidstrom’s #5 against the Colorado Avalanche (former Quebec Nordiques) on March 6, 2014, before losing in overtime.
