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.

There is a belief that the Devils will push hard to re-sign leading scoring Patrik Elias this off-season.

The 37-year-old winger is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st but the Devils are so thin up front that losing Elias will be a huge blow to their offense. Stay tuned.

Patrik Elias is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Elias would like to re-sign with the Devils, but nothing is certain. "I'm ready for anything," Elias said. "Sometimes the negotiations are not as easy as it seems." He is certain to attract attention if he hits the open market. He's a veteran leader with a wealth of playoff experience and still belongs on a scoring line. He had 14 goals and 36 points in 48 games this season.

Patrik Elias might have played his last home game with the Devils.

The 37-year-old is an unrestricted free agent this summer. "I think they [the Devils' management] are already making decisions for next year," Elias said. "They have their right to take their time in making the decision. I don't know what's going to happen. It was great to get a win for the home crowd. We have great fans. I wish we were going back to the playoffs again. We're not and that's the way it goes." Elias has 36 points this season and would seem to have a good chance to finish his career with New Jersey.

Patrik Elias still isn't sure what will happen this summer when he is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent.

He is New Jersey's all-time leader in goals (375), assists (553) and points (928), but there hasn't been any contract talks yet between him and the Devils. "I don't know what's going to happen, really," Elias admitted. "Sometimes you're hoping for something and it doesn't happen. I understand all sides of it - the business side of it, the ownership issues, and what the team has to do - and if it works out great. If it doesn't, life goes on. Unfortunately, it's a part of hockey." As a long-time New Jersey play it would be odd seeing him wear another sweater and Elias has made it known that he wants to stay.
