HENRIK ZETTERBERG-C-DETROIT

With the Red Wing's backs against the wall, Henrik Zetterberg kept their Stanley Cup hopes alive with a huge overtime game-winning goal in Game 6. He was dominant all game with two goals, an assist, and 4 SOG, providing the offensive spark Detroit needed to advance to a series determining Game 7. With five points in the last two contests, "Captain Clutch" has been leading by example for the resilient Red Wings. COOL HOCKEY FACT: Zetterberg has 53 playoff goals to his credit, but had never scored one in overtime until last night. He had held the longest playoff goal-scoring streak without one in OT. Who now owns this dubious distinction? Patrik Elias with 45 goals. Not fantasy related, but we like to dish out interesting facts when we can.

Henrik Zetterberg collected an assist on both Detroit Red Wings goals in a 3-2 OT to loss to the Anaheim Ducks, falling behind in the series 3-2.

Zetterberg could be in for better times if the Red Wings can pull out two straight wins. The talented Swede hasn't scored a goal despite firing 20 SOG, so things could improve ... unless it's too late.
