It was a foregone conclusion that Detroit Red Wings leader Niklas Kronwall would play out this season without his good friend and countryman Henrik Zetterberg and then ride off into the sunset himself at years’ end.
Kronwall has played nearly 20:00 TOI minutes a night this season for the Wings; he’s recorded 2 goals to go along with his 12 assists totaling 14 points through 53 games on the season. He’s a plus 4, and his 49.5 CF% is respectable but he would undoubtedly like it over 50%, we’ve got to stop and remember he’s playing significant minutes against the better players on the opposition every night.
