Were becoming a better O-zone team, so if we get pucks behind people and play in the other teams end we have a better chance to produce more offense.We have to be more determined to get to the net and put pucks to the net. I still think we pass up shots to try to make plays and we just have to understand that its going to be lots of shots.Gustav Nyquist and Riley Sheahan, in particular, have been struggling around the net. Nyquist has just one goal in the past 22 games and Sheahan hasnt scored a goal this season in 28 contests.The Red Wings and Flyers split a pair of games in Philadelphia six days apart in early November -- the Flyers won 4-3 in overtime on Nov. 2, and the Red Wings won 3-2 in a shootout, snapping a 12-game regular-season losing streak in Philadelphia that dated back to 1997.This will be the second of a season-long five game homestand for Detroit.The Red Wings are 2-7-2 in their past 11 at Joe Louis Arena and 6-7-2 for the season.Weve got to establish a little better home ice here, Thomas Vanek said.

CHICAGO -- People have questioned Jay Cutlers leadership from virtually the moment he arrived in town.But Cutler, 33, played a large role in a 20-10 victory over the?Minnesota Vikings?in more ways than one Monday night.Chicago Bears?receiver Alshon Jeffery revealed that Cutler delivered a pregame speech to the entire team that resonated throughout the locker room.He was talking about giving relentless effort, Jeffery said. He said to give it everything you got and play for each other.Cutler said he meant for the speech to be inspirational. The Bears had lost three straight heading into their prime-time matchup with Minnesota and wanted to avoid falling to 1-7.It was about inspiration, Cutler said. Everyone in there is from different backgrounds, different cultures, societies, family lives and schools. Whatever it takes to find that inspiration because motivation usually wears off at some point during the game. Those guys played inspired football, so it was fun to be a part of.Cutler said he draws personal inspiration from a lot of outside sources, including his wife andd children.dddddddddddd.Well, its very personal, Cutler said. Its been 11 years of [his playing in the NFL] and to be part of a locker room like that and get the game ball like that, it was fun.In his first game back after being sidelined five weeks with a thumb injury, Cutler went 20-of-31 for 252 yards and one touchdown (100.5 quarterback rating). The offense, which had struggled to reach the end zone in recent weeks, scored a pair of touchdowns with Cutler at the helm.Whether he quieted fans who thought the Bears were better off with Brian Hoyer is another issue. But that became a moot point when Hoyer broke his left arm last week in a Thursday night loss at Green Bay.I was so happy [to have Cutler back], tight end Zach Miller said. Hes the emotion on the football field. To have him back means a lot. We play well around him. Everybody played well. It was just good to get a win.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. ' ' '
