from Spector at Fox Sports,
They’re now facing a healthy, fast and deep Penguins team that plays a very aggressive offensive style that won’t be as easily contained, which should prove the biggest test of the playoffs for the Red Wings defense.
It’ll also prove a major challenge for Chris Osgood, who’s played well but hasn’t been nearly as busy as Pittsburgh netminder Marc-Andre Fleury, who leads all playoff goalies in wins (12) and shutouts (3), and sports a slightly better save percentage (.934) than Osgood (.931).
Osgood will certainly face more shots and offensive pressure in this series than he did in the previous three, while Fleury is used to facing more shots and could adjust more quickly to the Red Wings offensive attack. It’ll be interesting to see how well Osgood fares under the heavier workload.
