After Detroit lost 4-2 to the Minnesota Wild in their first game of the Prospect Tournament last Friday, the Red Wings vowed they were going to commit to playing team defense.

With some encouragement from head coach Ben Simon and his staff, Detroit's players have become a defensive juggernaut.

Paced by solid goaltending and a fearless defensive corps when it comes to blocking shots, the Red Wings limited the Dallas Stars to 17 shots in Saturday's 3-1 victory and on Monday, Detroit's defense held the New York Rangers to 14 shots in their 5-0 shutout win.

Both the Stars and the Rangers came into their games against the Red Wings on an offensive roll, but the Wings played with a lockdown mentality which carried them to victory.
