Coach Todd McLellan had a simple message for Red Wings players, support staff, and his own assistants after Saturday's game.

Todd McLellan has coached the Detroit Red Wings for six weeks, and sees progress — and the need for much more as playoff chase heightens.

In a span of 40 days, the Red Wings seem to have transformed into another team, moving up to the top wild card spot. They have fashioned two seven-game winning streaks and McLellan’s 15-4-1 record ties Mike Babcock for the best 20-game start with the club for a Red Wings coach.
