Red Wings Lose 4-2

The Detroit Red Wings lost game three 4-2 in the first-round series with Phoenix Sunday.

Simple:

The Phoenix Coyotes capitalized on their chances. The Red Wings did not. Detroit turned the puck over too much in the neutral zone. They played to their full potential for only about half the game.

This will not do them any good.

The Red Wings must win game four in order to avoid going back to Phoenix and facing elimination.

A win will require execution of scoring chances and intelligent play between the blue lines.
