Seven Game
Goal Scoring Drought Over

Henrik Zetterberg
broke out of a seven game goal-less streak today in Anaheim when
he scored a power-play goal 2:49 into the second period in a 3-1
loss to the Mighty Ducks. He took a dish pass from Pavel Datsyuk and
lifted a quick back-hander from inside the right face off circle
that glanced off the shoulder of Anaheim goalie Ilja Bryzgalov and
to the roof of the net on the short side. Despite not scoring a goal
in the previous seven games, Zetterberg is maintaining a point per
game scoring pace this season.
The goal was
Zetterberg’s ninth of the season. It gives him 111 points in his
career, which puts him alone at 100th on the . He
surpassed Mark Osborne, Micheal Bergeron, and Dwight Foster who all
have 110 career points with Detroit.
Today’s goal also was
the first goal Henrik has scored in a Redwing’s loss since February
24th 2004 when Vancouver won 4-2. Zetterberg’s
last eleven regular season goals, dating back to the 2003-04 season,
have all come in victories. In fact, only 10 of his 46 career
tallies have come in defeats.

100th on Redwing’s All-time Scoring Leaders
List

There are a lot of
great names on the list of top 100 all-time scoring leaders for the
Detroit Redwings. Henrik Zetterberg is now one of them. He joins the
likes of Gordie Howe, Steve Yzerman, Alex Delvecchio, Sergei
Fedorov, Niklas Lidstrom, Ted Lindsay, Brendan Shanahan and
ninety-two other Redwing’s career points leaders by scoring his
110th career point tonight (45 goals, 65 assists). That
ties him with Mark Osborne, Micheal Bergeron, and Dwight Foster for
100th on the list. Of the four only Osborne scored in
fewer games. He achieved the mark in 160 games. Zetterberg reached
it in his 163rd career game. Zetterberg’s next point will
place him alone at 100th.
The milestone point
came on an assist on Robert Lang’s go-ahead goal at 5:32 of the
second period in tonight’s 7-3 victory over the rival Colorado
Avalanche at the Joe Louis Arena.

“Eurotwins”

“(Henrik Zetterberg) went
and led the Swedish League is scoring…a very competitive league with
some of the top Swedish stars from the NHL." (ie: Peter Forsberg,
Markus Naslund)
"I think that gave him a
lot of confidence. And Pavel Datsyuk has emerged as a star as well.
They’re our #1 line and they’ve been great! They’re great
five-on-five, on the powerplay, and also killing penalties. Mike
Babcock’s been challenging them and they’re
responding.”
