The Detroit Red Wings have struggled in recent years. So, the loss of a player like Henrik Zetterberg is a big blow.
Now it looks as if Zetterberg may be done playing in the NHL, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press writes:
The Detroit Red Wings' captain is very much on thin ice with just two weeks remaining until training camp.
Zetterberg told the Free Press on Tuesday he “will not be able to play from the start” of the 2018-19 season because of pain stemming from a history of back issues.
“I will need more answers from doctors before I say I have played my last game,” Zetterberg said. “In my mind, I am hoping it can get solved.
"I don’t want to think I have played my last game. To me, it’s still early to say that. But obviously, I’ve been through this for the last few years, and I know it’s a thin line.
