Zetterberg
|
Zetterberg was outstanding at both ends of the ice for the Red
Wings. He finished the playoffs tied for first in points with 27
and led the league with 13 goals, including two shorthanded
tallies and four game-winners. The Swede was a constant threat
on offense, rattling off 116 shots in the postseason -- 37 more
than any other player. Zetterberg also finished with a
league-best plus-16 rating, and finished with a negative rating
just four times. He becomes just the second European player to
capture the award.
