The Phoenix Coyotes have been successful this season without an efficient power play.They ranked 28th in the NHL in the regular season, but they still won 50 games. Phoenix has gone a combined 0 for 9 with a man advantage over the past two playoff games with the Detroit Red Wings and still managed a split. But as the Coyotes prepare for Game 5 on Friday with the teams tied at two games apiece, the feeling in their locker room is they must improve their special-teams play if they are to win this series. Phoenix also needs better results from a penalty-kill unit that has allowed Detroit to score on 4 of 11 power plays after the Red Wings’ 1 for 6 performance in Game 1. Detroit, while not happy with the number of penalties it has taken, is pleased with how it has dominated in this area. That was the case in Game 4. After Detroit went up 1-0 on a power-play goal in the second period, Phoenix had three man advantages but couldn’t even the score.

Not only were the Coyotes not finding the back of the net, they weren’t putting themselves in good enough position on the power play, coach Dave Tippett said. The Red Wings put the game away by scoring twice in a span of 25 seconds late in the third. Shane Doan’s physical play sparked Phoenix’s power play in Game 1, and he said he is hopeful he can return for Game 5. Phoenix’s captain missed Game 4 with an upper body injury after leaving Game 3 on Sunday when he stumbled over Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard and went crashing into the boards during the second period. Doan participated in the first half of Thursday’s practice before leaving the ice for treatment. Tippett said Doan will be a game-time decision Friday.
