Henrik Zetterberg wants to play in the NHL playoffs, according to an ESPN.com report.
"That's the goal," Zetterberg said Wednesday, speaking to reporters for the first time since he had back surgery Feb 21.
The Red Wings would be in its 23rd straight postseason if the regular season ended Wednesday, but it is in a logjam for one of two spots in the Eastern Conference wild-card race.
Zetterberg is aiming to return after the playoffs begin April 16.
