Goal vs COL | 2nd Period | May 1, 2008

Propelling the Detroit Red Wings to their 11th Stanley Cup championship, Henrik Zetterberg won the 2008 Conn Smythe Trophy. Zetterberg's exceptional two-way play, combined with his offensive contributions, earned him the award. In the clinching Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Colorado Avalanche, Zetterberg scored a spectacular goal, his second of the night. After receiving a drop pass, he took an initial shot that was stopped, then spun around and swatted the puck on his backhand while falling. On the road in Dallas for Game 3 of the Western Conference Final, Zetterberg scored an unassisted shorthanded goal early in the third period. Rushing down the ice with the puck, he maneuvered around a defender and patiently waited for a good angle before firing it into the net, helping Detroit to a commanding 3-0 series lead. During the third period of Game 4 in the Stanley Cup Final, Zetterberg was tasked with killing a 5-on-3 advantage for the Pittsburgh Penguins while Detroit held a slim one-goal lead. The defining moment of his tremendous shift was when he stopped Sidney Crosby’s attempt at the side of an open net, showcasing Zetterberg’s remarkable defensive play throughout the playoffs. Leading the playoffs in scoring with 27 points, Zetterberg demonstrated clutch performance in critical moments, solidifying his status as a pivotal player in the Red Wings' successful postseason campaign.
