Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg on verge of ending historic streak
The fact that Henrik Zetterberg has played in 22 Stanley Cup Playoff series in his career is incredible. The fact that he has scored at least one goal in each of those series is even more impressive.
But Zetterberg's streak is in danger, as the captain enters Game 7 against the Lightning Wednesday with no goals in this series.
"Obviously, you want to produce more than I have done," Zetterberg told M Live. "I had more looks during these games. Game 1 and Game 2 I didn't play good. After that it's been better, but obviously it would be nice to see the back of the net."
The low offensive production in the playoffs continues Zetterberg's second-half slump, as he had just two goals in the final 29 games of the regular season. Zetterberg is factoring in on some scoring; he had 19 assists in those 29 games and has three assists through the first six games of this playoff series.
But the Red Wings would always welcome more goals from Zetterberg, and Game 7 would be the perfect time for the captain to finally score.
