Zetterberg has played 1,082 games for Detroit, scoring 337 goals and 623 assists. Despite his health issues he still scored 56 points in 82 games last season — he didn’t miss a game. Earlier this summer, Holland said Zetterberg told coach Jeff Blashill in January or February that he shouldn’t practice and only play in games.
He finished out the season without practicing.
