Bring On the Cup Final!

Posted on January 6, 2014 at 12:53 PM.

To no one's surprise, the Red Wings were ready to go back on the road in these playoffs. Blame a poor showing by Mike Smith over the final two games as the reason why Phoenix ends their season earlier than hoped. Here's how things turned out in Game 3.

1st Period
4:46 M. Paajarvi (1), (C. Larose, L. Schenn)
12:34 M. Lombardi (2), (K. Yandle, M. Hanzal)
13:21 J. Mursak (1), (D. Seidenberg, P. Datsyuk)

2nd Period
1:11 P. Datsyuk (5), (J. Mursak)
12:17 N. Kronwall (2), (J. Neal, D. Brassard)
17:13 P. Elias 2 (10), (I. White, J. Leopold)

3rd Period
3:14 A. Miele (4), (Z. Michalek, M. Lombardi)

Five juicy rebounds, a deflection, and a wicked wrister went under the goal column for the Wings in the final Western Conference* game of this season. Detroit knows that they won't get this many pucks behind Cam Ward (who currently has his Hurricanes up 3-0 on Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference finals).

Game 4 Summary

GWG: V. Stalberg (3)
PHX scores at 9:48 and 10:51 in 2nd Period to draw within two.
M. Grabner halts PHX momentum with goal less than a minute later.
Elias' point streak snapped.
M. Paajarvi: 2 G (3), A
T. Brodie, L. Schenn: 2 A each
