The Detroit Red Wings gave up a goal 29 seconds into the game and never stood a chance, losing 4-2 to the Phoenix Coyotes in Detroit.
Jimmy Howard gave up the first goal to Sami Lepisto tonight just 29 seconds into the game. Valtteri Filppula tied the game before Wojtek Wolski and Petr Prucha put Phoenix back out to the lead. Johan Franzen cut that lead in half, but Radim Vrbata closed the book tonight.
The Red Wings just didn’t bring the same game they had on Friday and never stood a chance starting from the opening face-off. The Wings played a physical game, but that was all they did. Phoenix ended an outstanding plus 15 on the night – the Wings a minus 15. If Detroit continues to play this way then the series is going to be over on Friday when these teams meet for game 5 in Phoenix.
In Play! Man of the Game: Radim Vrbata. Vrbata stepped up when Shane Doan left the game, scoring a goal and getting an assist.
