Gordie Howe is the go-to for Detroit Red Wings fans when they think of who came up big when the stakes were at their highest. Either him or Steve Yzerman.
Gordie Howe and Steve Yzerman hold the Detroit Red Wings record in career game-winning goals scored with 121 and 94, respectively. But neither are first or even second in the single-season category.
When you look at the Red Wings all-time single-season leaders in the same stat, Yzerman only appears once.
