Team Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
54-21-7 | 115 Points | 1st in West
Key Numbers

- PK: 84.0%
They are well rested, healthy and have so many weapons. Their best players haven't had to be their best players night in-night out, to prevail. In addition to the likes of Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Lidstrom, who have been terrific, they have been getting great efforts from the supporting cast, especially Johan Franzen, who had nine goals in the four-game spanking of the Colorado Avalanche. Four were on the power play, three were even strength and two were shorthanded, making him an equal opportunity threat.
Dallas Stars
45-30-7 | 97 Points | 5th in West
Key Numbers
- GF: 242
- GA: 207
- PP: 16.8%
- PK: 85.5%
Confidence. They got a monkey off their backs by winning the first round, then another by not choking on a lead in round two against San Jose. Marty Turco has been great in goal. Brenden Morrow has been a force up front and virtually everyone is playing well and with enthusiasm. They are a team firing on all cylinders. Now, they did appear rattled at times against the Sharks, surrendering a couple of leads and making life difficult, but they ultimately found a way to win, which is key.
