The Red Wings were the game's best puck-possession team for years with Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg in their prime and a host of other skilled players before that.
That's no longer the case, so it calls for a change of approach. They still want to possess the puck, but when they don't have it, they need to be more aggressive, coach Jeff Blashill said.
"More forechecking and a faster transition game," Blashill said. "I think in the past it was bring it back and loop and do some things and it was awesome for a while.
