Gerald Ford was president the last time the Detroit Red Wings had this anemic of an offense 10 games into a season.

The Red Wings are winless in their last five games (0-4-1) entering a home game tonight against the Calgary Flames. They have 23 goals in 10 games, the same low-level of offense the 1975-76 Red Wings opened with.

"It will turn around. You just have to believe," Henrik Zetterberg said. "We have to just be a little more assertive when we get the chance to score goals. The worst thing you can start to do is doubt yourself."
