Niklas Kronwall doesn't know if he wants to retire after this season, and the Detroit Red Wings have interest in bringing back the 38-year-old defenseman.
No matter what happens, it's surprising considering where he was a few months ago.
"Going into the season," Kronwall said before the Red Wings played the Ottawa Senators at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday (7:30 p.m. ET; FS-D, TSN5, RDS2, NHL.TV), "I thought for sure that this would be the end of the story."
Kronwall has had chronic problems with his left knee for years.
