"We know we can beat them, we're a great team." - Brendan Smith

"This is Detroit, this is not just another team. You saw Friday, anybody who thought the Detroit Red Wings were dead got a big mistake coming to them." - Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau told Ansar Khan

"We can't let guys like Datsyuk run around with the puck all night long. It was like on a string...But it's not a surprise that he's going to do that. He's one of the best players in the world." - Bruce Boudreau told Khan

Jimmy Howard will be between the pipes tonight.

Colaiacovo

Carlo Colaiacovo has been cleared to play, but will be a healthy scratch tonight.

Coach Babcock said he's sticking with the same six defensemen as Friday.

Babcock

Get More Solid Goaltending - Jimmy Howard will need to be sharp again. The Ducks will come after him and the Red Wings hard, especially after the last game.

Play Well in Front of Howard - The defense needs to be in the right position. Block shots, protect the puck, and get the puck to the forwards to send them on the rush.

Continue Balanced Scoring - Everyone contributed in the last game. Detroit will need more of the same in tonight's game, too.
