Wings captain, considered a Hall of Famer by Bowman, perseveres to reach career milestone

As he finds rejuvenation at home and at work, Henrik Zetterberg also has found philosophy.

The captain of the Detroit Red Wings is playing stellar hockey at what he describes as his fossil age, demonstrating what inner drive can accomplish. It can, for example, mean a seventh-round draft pick not known for his skating can last 1,000 games, a milestone Zetterberg, 36, is on track to reach in the April 9 finale at Joe Louis Arena. Zetterberg does so having just reached his 900th career point.
