Detroit — Steve Yzerman wasn’t planning on taking a souvenir out of Joe Louis Arena on Friday.

The legendary, Hall of Fame former Red Wings player had so many stored away already.

“Not likely,” Yzerman said of whether he was taking anything. “If we can get the two points (victory) that would be a nice way to get out of here.

“I have tremendous memories that I’ll always have and nothing is better than those.”

Yzerman is now general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Friday marked his final game at Joe Louis Arena before the Red Wings move into the new Little Caesars Arena next season.
