The Red Wings hope to set the tempo tonight at Joe Louis Arena, where they host the Sharks, who lead their Western Conference semi-finals series 2-games-to-nothing after winning the first two games by 2-to-1 scores inSan Jose.

Detroit has a total of 59 shots so far in the series but their goal is to put more bodies and pucks closer to the net starting tonight. Game Four is Friday night, again inDetroit.

Last night, in the other Western Conference matchup, Vancouver scored a 3-to-2 overtime victory at Nashville, giving the number-one seeded Canucks a 2-games-to-1 lead in the series.
