Shootout changes

In their shootouts this season, the Wings have typically had Pavel Datsyuk go first, followed by Henrik Zetterberg .

Babcock had Jason Williams follow Datsyuk on Sunday.

"Williams has always been an outstanding shooter for us," Babcock said. "It didn't work today. ... But Willie's so good at that, normally, that we went that way."

After missing Sunday, Datsyuk is 23-for-45 in his career and Williams is 11-for-28.

Zetterberg, who didn't shoot Sunday, is 11-for-36
