The Red Wings' season is over, but forward Valtteri Filppula continues to make news on and off the ice.

Filppula, playing for Finland in the World Hockey Championships, had two goals and two assists in Monday's victory over Kazakhstan. He's also featured in a viral Nike advertisement that was posted on the YouTube channel BreakTheSpell2012 on May 10.

The video -- which runs 2 minutes, 28 seconds -- shows Filppula, 28, making his way around the streets of Detroit and through local ice rinks.
