Detroit — Henrik Zetterberg has had many memorable nights before Red Wings fans in his already storied career — but add Saturday’s to the list.

Zetterberg’s tie-breaking goal was the 335th of his career, tying him with Ted Lindsay for fifth on the all-time Red Wings’ list, sending the Red Wings to a 3-1 victory over Carolina.

Zetterberg redirected a pass from Gustav Nyquist at 13 minutes, 22 seconds of the second period, his ninth goal, breaking a 1-1 tie.
