The Detroit Red Wings announced today that veteran defenceman and team captain Nicklas Lidstrom will return for another year with the team.
There was speculation that the 41-year-old from Sweden would retire after last season, but with today’s announcement, the team confirmed Lidstrom would be back for his 20th season in the NHL.
Lidstrom finished the 2010-11 season with 62 points and a minus-2 rating – the first minus rating of his career. He was also named a Norris Trophy nominee and will hope to win the trophy for the seventh time in his career.
