Bobby Ryan cant help but worry sometimes. In just his second game with the Ottawa Senators, he made a mistake on the power play and envisioned the consequence as he skated back to the bench. "OK, thats your last opportunity and good luck on another unit," he told himself. Its a mentality that comes from playing parts of five seasons under coach Randy Carlyle. Since then, Ryan has run the gamut on coaching personalities through his time with Bruce Boudreau and now Paul MacLean. Going from one extreme to the other, Ryan adjusted on the fly as he came into his own as an NHL scorer. "With Randy you had a hard-pressed, aggressive coach and then you went to Bruce, who was fairly lackadaisical in, I wouldnt want to say his approach to the game, but his systematic plays," Ryan said. "He was different like that, but he gave you opportunities to really create offensively. And then I think Macs kind of that hybrid in between both of them. He gives you space to make plays and do things, but hes also demanding. You have to stick to the structure, and if you stick to those Xs and Os thats where he lets the skill come through." Skill has never been a question for Ryan, a four-time 30-goal scorer whos off to the best start of his NHL career and should be a lock for the U.S. Olympic team in Sochi. It has been more a question of how three coaches approached managing his talent. Ryan scored 112 goals in the 274 games Carlyle spent behind the bench. Before the Ducks fired Carlyle in late November 2011, a strained relationship with Ryan had the winger on the trade block. "Everybody knows my history with Randy," Ryan said this week while making it clear that Carlyle was always fair to him. Before the Senators faced the Toronto Maple Leafs during the pre-season, Carlyle was effusive in his praise. "I think Bobby was a young kid that had a different body make-up from what he is now. He put (in) a lot of time and effort, and its a tribute to him to get himself in the type of condition that he is now versus where he came out of junior," he said. "Bobbys growing into a pretty mature hockey player both on and off the ice." Carlyles heavy-handed style played a role in that growth, but Ryan got more freedom under Boudreau, who learned a little about handling star scorers from coaching Alex Ovechkin with the Washington Capitals. "Really great players — Ovi, Bobby Ryan, the Jason Spezzas, the (Ryan) Getzlafs — if you try to tell them how to be creative, its not a smart move because they see things that you cant see," Boudreau said. "Its like they got another sense about them when people are around or where people are or stuff like that. You just have to give them a lot of offensive-free latitude." But thats not to say Boudreau gave Ryan a free pass. He asked him to try playing centre when the Ducks were weak there and came away impressed with how the young star handled that and other suggestions. "Bobby was really easy, and he was also very acceptable in anything I asked him to do," Boudreau said. "Id have him in my office just because I talk to the players a lot, but Id have him in and hed be very receptive to any ideas I had. I listened to him on any ideas he had and I thought I was receptive to them. I thought the relationship was pretty good." That relationship ended July 5 when the Ducks traded Ryan to the Senators following an 11-goal, 48-game season. His days of playing Boudreaus fire-wagon style of up-tempo hockey were over, but MacLean continued the trend of instilling more confidence and trust in Ryan. The 26-year-old already faced his former team this season and will see Boudreau and the Ducks again Friday in Ottawa. Ryan saw similarities in Boudreau and MacLeans interactions with players, but not their approaches to hockey. Boudreau won the Jack Adams Award in 2007-08 based on offence and an incredible Capitals turnaround, while MacLean won it last season for leading the Senators to the playoffs amid injuries to Spezza, defenceman Erik Karlsson, goaltender Craig Anderson and others. "Obviously you dont win the Jack Adams Award by not being able to speak to your players and get through to your players," Ryan said. "Im looking forward to having a relationship like that and being able to build on that throughout time." It has started well as Ryan has six goals and three assists in nine games. That mistake Ryan made on the power play earlier this season didnt cost him another chance, and as a result hes not playing scared. "You dont have to tighten up or whatnot and you can let it go and play," he said. "Theres been situations on the ice where Id like to have things back, but weve had a lot of good talks between us about that kind of stuff. Hes given me the confidence to let me know that theyre going to put me right back out and get me right back into the situation again." Ryan is still adjusting to differences in Eastern Conference play compared to the West, like how much extra space he has to gain the offensive zone when hes carrying the puck. But across the spectrum of his play, the transition to Ottawa has been "fairly seamless." Since seeing Ryan in camp, MacLean never worried about that adjustment and praised his consistency along the way. MacLean wants Ryan to play with a sense of freedom, but hes not giving him special treatment. "I think its our job to not just coach Bobby Ryan. We have 23 guys that we have to coach, and thats the same with all of them," MacLean said. "We really believe in the young players, when they get the opportunity to play you have to play them and when theyre playing well you have to get them out there and let them play. Bobbys no different than the rest of them as when hes playing well, well get him out there, and when hes not, we wont." Ryan has learned that lesson under each coach and is thankful for the extra chances that have followed when he faltered. He doesnt like the comparisons to Daniel Alfredsson — who signed with Detroit the same day Ryan was dealt to Ottawa — which will undoubtedly linger, but filling that role as a scoring winger suits him well. "Theyre giving me an opportunity to, I guess, be one of the top players, one of the go-to guys and putting me in situations where they feel like I can have success," Ryan said. "Thats all I really wanted and thats the opportunity that I think I knew I was going to be given." ——— Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at @SWhyno Blaine Gabbert Jersey .

The puck hit the back of Devils goalie Cory Schneiders left leg and rolled into the net to give Detroit a 4-1 lead.The Red Wings — coming off an 0-2-1 road trip against Buffalo, Ottawa and the New York Rangers — improved to 5-1-1 at home.On the road, bounces werent going our way, we couldnt put it in the back of the net, Detroits Brendan Smith said. Tonight, to see a goal like (Kronwalls), finally we got some bounces our way. Those help for sure. Weve been looking for some of those and finally got them.Jakub Kindl, Smith and Johan Franzen also scored for the Red Wings, who outshot the Devils 31-17. Jimmy Howard finished with 15 saves.Schneider said he was aware of the lively boards at Joe Louis Arena.Its probably the only rink where it could have gone in, he said. I tried to get my skate back there, but I think it came off (the boards) in the air.Steve Bernier and Jordin Tootoo scored for the Devils, who lost their third straight. Schneider stopped 20 shots while giving up all four goals in the first two periods, and was replaced by Keith Kinkaid to start the third. Kinkaid stopped all seven shots he faced.Detroit scored on two of its four power-play opportunities while New Jersey, last in NHL on the penalty kill, was 0 for 3 in extra-man chances.Bottom line, they were the better team, Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. We would have been stealing points if we had won.The Red Wings controlled play from the start and outshot the Devils 14-3 in the first period, but trailed 1-0 until Kindl and Smith scored 32 seconds apart late in the period.Kindls power-play shot from just inside the blue line bounced off the stick of Devils defenceman Adam Larsson and over Schneiders glove hand with 1:05 left to play in the first. The Red Wings controllled the ensuing faceoff and took the lead just 33 seconds later on Smiths own long wrist shot, his first goal of the season.ddddddddddddIn the second period, it took the Red Wings a matter of seconds to capitalize on their second power play of the evening. Immediately following a hooking penalty to the Devils Marek Zidlicky, Henrik Zetterberg won a faceoff in the left offensive circle and Kronwall passed to Franzen in the right circle, where he beat Schneider for a 3-1 lead with 8:19 left in the period.Tootoo, playing in his first game since Oct. 21 because of a foot injury, gave the Devils hope for a comeback when he beat Howard less than 3 minutes into the third period for his first goal of the season, but the game remained scoreless the rest of the way despite a better effort from the Devils.We knew we didnt bring our A game the first two periods and we wanted to fight back in the third period, Devils forward Stephen Gionta said. Just too little, too late.The Devils took a 1-0 lead when Bernier scored his first goal of the season at 3:18 of the first period. His wrist shot from five feet was the Devils first shot of the game and their only solid scoring opportunity of the period.Obviously it was a good game for us, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. The first 10 minutes, until we had the penalty kill, the game was fairly even. And then we took over the game from that point. The other team, theyre paid to try, too. Sometimes you dont dominate from the get-go.NOTES: The Red Wings played without C Pavel Datsyuk, who suffered a groin injury during a team skate earlier in the day. ...
