Grosse Pointe Woods — This has been an unusual season for Henrik Zetterberg from a team perspective.
Instead of questions about the playoffs or recent victories, the Red Wings’ captain has been answering questions about losing streaks and the potential end of a 25-year playoff streak.
This hasn’t been a typical season. The only constant from years past?
Zetterberg’s consistent performance, as he leads the team with 41 points, although even that provides only limited satisfaction.
“It’s hard to be happy with the season when we are where we are in the standings,” said Zetterberg, the Red Wings sitting last in the Eastern Conference with 54 points (22-25-10) and have won only twice in the last 12 games (2-6-4).
