Is Henrik Zetterberg Headed To The Hockey Hall Of Fame?

04/03/2018 at 9:14am EDT

With the Sedins's retiring at the end of the season, Kevin Allen of USA TODAY wrote about active players 36 and over with a shot at the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Henrik Zetterberg, 37, Detroit Red Wings: He is 46 points away from 1,000, but his points per game average (.88) is higher than the Sedins. He is a member of the Triple Crown Club, meaning he has won a Stanley Cup, an Olympic gold and a world championship. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2008 and the King Clancy Award for leadership in 2015. He has 120 points in 137 postseason games and could be helped by advanced statistics because he has a career 55.1% Corsi percentage, according to hockey-reference.com. A defensive-minded player, Zetterberg always plays against the best opponents. He will make the Hall of Fame.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
