Detroit — It was fitting Justin Abdelkader scored the way he did.

The final game of the regular season, April 7 against the New York Islanders, Abdelkader scored a definitive career milestone goal — the 100th goal of his career.

Off Abdelkader’s foot, as he was battling near the crease, a goal that required video review, then officially given the go-ahead as a goal.
