Henrik Zetterberg enjoys the elements.

The Detroit Red Wings captain played in his fourth outdoor game Sunday and racked up three assists in his team's 5-4 overtime loss, tying a record for helpers in an NHL game played outside he set in 2009.

Zetterberg now has seven points - all assists - in outdoor games, tops among those who've been fortunate enough to take part in the spectacles.

"It was nice to see we could rally and get back there in the third," Zetterberg said, according to the Detroit Free Press' Helene St. James. "Unfortunately, it got away from us a little bit earlier in the third. ... In the end, I guess it was a good show for the fans."

Zetterberg's riding a six-game point streak, with a goal and seven assists during the run.
