Phoenix has not won a playoff series since 1987 when they were the Winnipeg Jets... The Coyotes had a 3-2 lead in the second period before Detroit ended the game with four unanswered goals... Henrik Zetterberg missed all four games in this series... Phoenix now awaits an uncertain future as this may have been the last game they play in Arizona.
