One of the things that captain Henrik Zetterberg was best at was just being patient on the ice, not worrying if anything major happened during his shift.

That often would help stem the tide and prevent the other team from increasing their momentum after scoring.

"It's a hugely important thing and that doesn't come natural to young people who want to win so bad that they try to make up the score in one shift and you can't do that," Wings coach Jeff Blashill said after Wednesday's practice at the BELFOR Training Center.
