Pavel Datsyuk was honored by the Detroit Red Wings before Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers for recording the 600th assist of his career, and in what may be his final regular-season game at Joe Louis Arena, his fans made it known they want the 14-year veteran to stay.
Red Wings fans chanted "one more year" as recent reports have stated the 37-year-old is considering a return to Russia as soon as next season. Datsyuk has one year remaining on his contract and his agent has said they will have a discussion with general manager Ken Holland at season's end.
Datsyuk recorded his 600th assist during a 7-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 26. He has 48 points in 63 games this season.
