Niklas Kronwall Undecided About Next Season

from Nicholas J. Cotsonika of NHL.com,

Niklas Kronwall doesn't know if he wants to retire after this season, and the Detroit Red Wings have interest in bringing back the 38-year-old defenseman.

No matter what happens, it's surprising considering where he was a few months ago.

"Going into the season," Kronwall said before the Red Wings played the Ottawa Senators at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday (7:30 p.m. ET; FS-D, TSN5, RDS2, NHL.TV), "I thought for sure that this would be the end of the story."

Kronwall has had chronic problems with his left knee for years.
