Detroit — The message has been consistent all season, but delivered by coach Jeff Blashill with a bit more bite after the All Star break.

Shoot the puck.

The Red Wings haven’t been doing it enough most of the season, but they certainly got the message for Wednesday’s 2-1 shootout victory over San Jose.

The Red Wings were credited with a season-high 44 shots on net — almost double the 24 they put on net against Chicago in the last game before the All Star break.
