We invite you to watch a live press conference Sunday, April 7 at 10:30 a.m. on DetroitRedWings.com.

Have the Jump Early - Dictate the play to the Coyotes from the opening face off. Keep the foot on the gas...pedal to the metal!
Take Away Coyotes' Time and Space - Detroit can't give Phoenix the time to make plays or shoot the puck; the Wings need to keep the pressure on the Coyotes for 60 minutes.
Have a Balanced Attack - Pavel Datsyuk has put up incredible numbers against Phoenix in his career. That being said, the Red Wings shouldn't rely solely on him to carry the load. They need scoring help from everyone in a Winged Wheel sweater.
