The Detroit Red Wings have struggled in recent years to find a prolific scorer. Marian Hossa for one season back in 2008/09 was the last 40 goal scorer. That season the wings had four 30 plus goal scorers and have not had one, not ONE since.
A season that saw Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen, and Marian Hossa all eclipse the 30 goal mark justifies why the Detroit Red Wings appeared in back to back Stanley Cup Finals. The lack of scoring since also explains why the Wings haven’t been close to returning.
