Matt Cooke is set to return from his suspension against the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 4 on Friday. Cooke was suspended seven games for his knee-on-knee hit that knocked Colorado Avalanche defenceman Tyson Barrie out of the playoffs in their first-round series. But the Wild forward is not prepared to change his game in light of this latest incident, which resulted in the sixth suspension of his career. "Ive got to go back to the work I put in to this point, video-wise, game-wise, mentally-wise, to put myself in a position for success," Cooke told reporters on Wednesday. "Although this one situation happened, I still believe and know that Im in a good spot as far as the way I approach the game to go out and play a physical style without being riskful. "Obviously theres the one situation thats going to be in my head that it happened, but Im a firm believer in the work that Ive put in to change the style, to change my approach to the game, to allow me to go out and have success." As for the perception of his style of play among players and fans, that isnt a concern for Cooke, who reached out to Barrie after the hit. "Its not my job to go out and change peoples opinions," said Cooke. "Its my job to go out and play the way that I can to be successful and helping my teammates win. Thats my job." Cooke doesnt expect his role to change when he returns to the lineup, adding that he has plenty to offer off the ice. "I think the biggest thing I can give is my experience and my communication," said Cooke. The Wild trail the series 2-1.

Nikolai Khabibulin was yanked in the second period, and the Ottawa Senators looked ready to put away a big road win.ATLANTA - Patrick Peterson was eager to get a shot at Julio Jones. The way the Arizona cornerback remembered it, he had won most of the duels going back to their college days in the Southeastern Conference.On Sunday, Jones was the clear winner.Peterson allowed a career performance to Atlantas star receiver, who had 10 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown as the Falcons coasted to a 29-18 victory over the punchless Cardinals.He won the matchup today, Peterson said. I mean, Cy Young winners give up home runs.The Cardinals (9-3) lost their second in a row, a once-comfortable lead in the NFC West suddenly shrinking to a single game over defending Super Bowl champion Seattle.More troubling for Arizona than Jones big day was an offence that nearly went its second straight game without scoring a touchdown. Rashad Johnsons 88-yard interception return was the only TD until Drew Stantons meaningless 3-yard scoring pass to Stepfan Taylor with 1:05 remaining.That broke a streak of 170 minutes, 1 second without an offensive touchdown — more than 11 quarters.Stanton, who took over when Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending injury, threw for 294 yards but was picked off twice. It sure didnt help that star receiver Larry Fitzgerald missed his second straight game with a strained left knee and running back Andre Ellington went out in the first half with a hip injury.Were still in great position, Stanton said. Weve got to find a way to get first downs and put up points. We havent done that the last couple of weeks.Stanton was thoroughly outplayed by Atlantas Matt Ryan, who completed 30 of 41 for 361 yards with a couple of scores.The Falcons (5-7) piled up 500 yards against a team that had given up less than 300 in each of its four previous games, remaining tied for first in the woeful NFC South by matching New Orleans victory at Pittsburgh earlier in the day.Atlanta holds the tiebreaker edge over the Saints.These are the type of games youve got to win in November and December in order to play in January, Ryan said.Steven Jackson broke off a 55-yard run — his longest since 2009 — on the Falcons opening possession to set up Ryans 1-yard touchdown pass to Levine Toilolo on fourth-and-goal.ddddddddddddJones hauled in a 32-yard scoring pass for Atlantas other TD.Matt Bryant handled the rest of the scoring for the Falcons, setting a career high with five field goals though most of them werent much longer than extra points.The Falcons claimed their first win outside the division (they are now 1-7) and their first over a team with a winning record.Jones eclipsed his previous career best of 182 yards receiving and made sure Atlanta didnt miss its other top receiver, Roddy White, who was out with an ankle injury.(Peterson) is a very good player. We think Julio is a really good player, too, Ryan said. Julio went out and competed really hard, made some really good catches for us. He stepped up when we needed it.The Falcons lost a touchdown when Devin Hesters 70-yard punt return was wiped out by an offensive facemask penalty just short of the goal line. The odd call came as he was trying to ward off Cardinals punter Drew Butler, who appeared to have an even tighter grip on Hesters facemask.It didnt matter.About the only Arizona highlight came with the Falcons looking to build on their 17-0 lead after the first quarter. Johnson stepped in front of a pass intended for Jones and took it all the way to the end zone.You have to face adversity, Peterson said. Shes here. Its all about what type of men we have in this locker room and how were going to bounce back from it.Notes: The Cardinals missed a chance to wipe out Jones longest play, a 41-yard reception in the third quarter. The replay clearly showed that Ryan only got one foot inbounds, but coach Bruce Arians failed to challenge the call. ... Bryants previous career high was four field goals in a game. He connected from 20, 23, 21, 45 and 28 yards, improving to 22 of 24 on the season. His only misses have been from 57 and 59 yards. ... Arizona S Tyrann Mathieu left the game with a broken thumb, while OG Paul Fanaika went out with a high ankle sprain.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 ' ' '
