So far, everybody weve played was a playoff team last year, with the exception of Ottawa, and they look to be improved.The Red Wings defensemen played particularly well in the last two wins and are doing a good job of limiting turnovers, preventing opponents from getting easy chances and getting the puck out of the zone quickly.I think were playing better in our own end, left wing and captain Henrik Zetterberg said. I think were faster. Were stopping them a little easier. Theyre not spending as much time (in Red Wings zone) as they did the first two games.
