COLUMBUS, Ohio — Will this week be the last of Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg's career?

He’s headed for his third full NHL season after undergoing back surgery in 2014, but he’s also 37 and has played a lot. His viability for another season came up Tuesday before the game at Nationwide Arena as fellow Swedish 37-year-old hockey stars Henrik and Daniel Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks announced this week that 2017-18 will be their last season.
