by from on (#2HNJV)
Some good news in a lost season.
With a second-period assist Thursday, Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg hit the 900-point mark for his career, putting him in some stellar red-and-white company.
Zetterberg, a Red Wing his entire career, is only the seventh player in franchise history to make it to 900. The other six guys were kind of good:
| Player | Points |
|---|---|
| Gordie Howe | 1809 |
| Steve Yzerman | 1755 |
| Alex Delvecchio | 1281 |
| Nicklas Lidstrom | 1142 |
| Sergei Fedorov | 954 |
| Pavel Datsyuk | 918 |
| Zetterberg | 900 |
The assist gave Zetterberg a team-leading 64 points this season. At 36, he's still going strong, bouncing back from a down 2015-16, when he averaged 0.61 points per game - the second-lowest mark of his career.
He has 325 goals and 575 assists in 995 regular-season games.
