Find Energy to Play Well - The Wings are 3-0-0 in the first games of back-to-backs and 0-2-0 in the second games. With the defending champs at The Joe, the crowd will be loud and Detroit has to feed off the fans.

Continue Strong Defensive Play - The Wings have given up only 2 goals in the past 2 games. They've blocked shots, the forwards are helping out more, and the Penalty Kill has been better. They have to keep doing that and protect Jimmy Howard today.

Everyone Must Contribute - The big guys played a lot of minutes yesterday on both the Penalty Kill and the Power Play; Detroit has to get a lot out of their bottom-six and their defensemen to beat a deep team like the Kings.
