It has been 20 consecutive years in a row that the Detroit Red Wings have gone into the playoffs. This year the Wings finished 1st in the Central Division, 3rd in the Western Conference, and 6th Overall. Placing 6th place overall put them in the number three seed facing up against 11th place overall, number six seed, Phoenix Coyotes.

Then the Wings took over the game after Datsyuk scored their first goal 7:38 into the second period.
