/>James Wisniewski was also a late-season acquisition for the Ducks in March, being involved in the Sami Pahlsson deal with Chicago. Wisniewski will not put pucks in the net like Niedermayer or Whitney, but will do all of the dirty work that wins games in the long run. He sacrificed his body numerous times in the Ducks' two playoff rounds in 2009, not to mention throwing hits when needed. He runs under the radar as a smart defenseman that can easily be used against top lines. His determination is his greatest attribute.

mportant as the playoff grind continues.
The best defensive forward on the Blackhawks is Sami Pahlsson, a center that was brought in on the trade deadline just for that purpose. Pahlsson, who saw some minutes against the Franzen line in Game 1, has to be out there for all of the important defensive zone face-offs as well as playing on the penalty kill as much as possible. Pahlsson might be able to thwart off some of the scoring attacks that this line produces.
