Detroit Red Wings Roster: Comparing Abdelkader & Ciccarelli

There is not a player in NHL history that was more dangerous, within 5 feet of the goal, than former Detroit Red Wings winger Dino Ciccarelli. Often compared to a garbage man, Ciccarelli had better rebound control than most goalies. In 19 NHL seasons Ciccarelli scored an impressive 608 goals and 1200 points on his way to the Hall of Fame.

Ciccarelli spent the majority of his career with the Minnesota North Stars but had a few memorable seasons with the Detroit Red Wings between 1992 and 1996.

Ciccarelli ended his time in Detroit as a part of the Red Wings team that earned a record breaking 62 wins in the regular season.
