Henrik Zetterberg feels healthy
Forward Henrik Zetterberg showed up on Monday at the Joe for an informal practice before the team headed up to Traverse City for training camp. The good news is that both Zetterberg’s wrist and back feel fine. Earlier this summer, there was concern that his back had flared up when he pulled out of a charity game. He did pull out of the game, but it wasn’t because of a sore back.
Zetterberg said he withdrew from a couple of charity games in Sweden over the summer not because his back was hurting but because he hadn’t started skating yet.
“I thought it wasn’t right to myself and the team that my first time on the ice I go play a game, so I told them I couldn’t go,” Zetterberg said. “I think the media in Sweden blew it up a little bit. It wasn’t a big thing.”
Asked if he experienced any flare-ups, Zetterberg said, “Of course you have your bad days and good days, but (skipping) the games had nothing to do with my back.”
