Outlook:
Detroit struggled against Phoenix early in the first round series, but showed real champion form later. Sergei Fedorov played well at both ends and Red Wings' power-play was clicking. St. Louis has been resting a week after sweeping the Kings. Are they still in focus? The team says yes and points to a winning streak they had after the Olympic break as evidence.
