Zetterberg becomes 7th player to record 900 points as a Red Wing

Some good news in a lost season.

With a second-period assist Thursday, Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg hit the 900-point mark for his career, putting him in some stellar red-and-white company.

Zetterberg, a Red Wing his entire career, is only the seventh player in franchise history to make it to 900. The other six guys were kind of good:

Player Points
Gordie Howe 1809
Steve Yzerman 1755
Alex Delvecchio 1281
Nicklas Lidstrom 1142
Sergei Fedorov 954
Pavel Datsyuk 918
Zetterberg 900

The assist gave Zetterberg a team-leading 64 points this season. At 36, he's still going strong, bouncing back from a down 2015-16, when he averaged 0.61 points per game - the second-lowest mark of his career.

He has 325 goals and 575 assists in 995 regular-season games.
