Key Match-up

Special Teams

Detroit did a great job at holding the Senators scoreless on the power-play, and managed to score a goal on the man advantage last night. The fact of the matter is that the Red Wings only scored one goal in five attempts. That needs to change if this team is going to find it’s traction going forward. Who knows if Detroit gets that many chances, but nevertheless, they need to capitalize on what is given to them.

Red Wings vs Zone Entries

You guys, the team needs to enter the zone with dominance. No more hesitating, or “too much passy, not enough shooty.” It’s time to figure it out, and carry the puck into the zone with confidence, and dominate puck control while in the opposing team’s zone. Let’s go. We can do this.

Let’s Go Red Wings!!!
