Play Physical - The Red Wings need to bang with the Blues, but be disciplined enough to stay out of the Penalty Box.

Raise the Intensity - In the first game against St. Louis, the Blues were more competitive than the Wings, so they'll need to take it up a notch tonight.

Get Out to an Early Lead - The Wings have played 6 first periods this year without a goal, so they'll need to feed off the crowd, and try to get on the board first.
