Pretty simple.
Things probably won't change much for either team except for the possible return of Patrick Eaves who is still questionable. If the Wings can stay out of the box and avoid 5-on-3's, logic would suggest they can get their first win and start to get back in the series.
Scary Pair #1 is Hank and Bert. They've played a lot of time 5-on-5 together this season and continue to do so during the playoffs with Valtteri Filppula. Their line has gone fairly cold against the Sharks and will need to re-ignite to their First Round form to help the Wings get their maiden win of the series. The pair averaged a hook-up once every 40 or so minutes so hopefully they're due for another in Game 3.
The second Scary Pair is Homer and Das Mule. Ever since Franzen's return from injury they've hooked up 7 times, more than any other tandem on the team over that period. They hooked up for a PP goal in Game Two but some more of that magic is sorely needed at even strength.
