The captain is back.
Detroit Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg will make his preseason debut Saturday night versus Toronto, the club announced ahead of their final exhibition tilt.
Zetterberg missed training camp, as well as the World Cup because of a knee injury sustained while training in the offseason, and he's excited to be back on the ice.
"This game tonight's going to be huge for just to be back playing games," Zetterberg said, per the team website. "You can only do that much in practice but you need to be out there and play games. So we're happy I was able to come back here and play tonight, and it will help me for Thursday."
The soon-to-be 36-year-old scored 13 goals and added 37 assists in 82 games for the Red Wings last season.
