On November 12th, the Wings finished the game 6-2 versus the Dallas Stars. On top of having a 4 goals differential, the Wing superstar decide to embarrassed the Star' goalie with this goal.
This was the start of the season. He ultimately played 75 games, with 68 points. Even with multiple injuries, the Red Wings still managed to win the President Trophy with 109 points. Unfortunately, they were eliminated by the Calgary Flames in the Western Conference semifinals. Datsyuk played for Detroit his whole career and retired in 2015-2016.
