The game between the Phoenix Coyotes and the Detroit Red Wings may get ugly as these teams have a history of ugly games.

This is the first of four games between the two teams, who have met in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs each of the past two postseasons -- with the Red Wings winning both, including a four-game sweep last spring.

Detroit has currently lost two in a row following its most recent winning streak of seven games that ended last Sunday in Colorado. The Coyotes haven't had a lengthy streak of any kind and come into Detroit looking to match their season high of three straight victories. The availability of Red Wings forward Valtteri Filppula (leg laceration) will be a side story, as will last season's playoff sweep by the Wings.

Phoenix is in the midst of a grueling portion of the schedule. This game will be the third in four days for the 'Yotes, who started the week with back-to-back wins on the road against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday and Nashville Predators on Tuesday. After playing the Wings, Phoenix will play 12 of its next 19 games away from Jobing.com Arena. The good news is the 'Yotes have found success in other buildings. They have a mark of 9-4-1 in 14 road games. Keith Yandle is also heating up. He's scored in each of the last two games and played his 200th consecutive game on Tuesday in Nashville.

Detroit took eight penalties in a 3-2 loss on Tuesday at Scottrade Center and that's out of character for the Wings. Jimmy Howard took the loss against St. Louis, but the third-year starting goalie remains a rock of consistency for Detroit -- which played the Blues without Filppula (8 goals, 21 points), who has a deep cut on his right shin from taking a skate blade just above the boot of his skate in a Dec. 4 loss at Colorado.

Ray Whitney has 3 goals and 3 assists in his past five games for the Coyotes, while Phoenix forward Mikkel Boedker has scored points in five of his last six games -- including 3 goals. Whitney is ready to take on the Wings and he is ready to lead Phoenix to a big win against their new rivals.
