John Franzen for the Detroit Red Wings playoff star

When he first came to prominence and earned a regular spot in the Detroit Red Wings’ lineup, his role was quite similar to that of former teammate Tomas Holmstrom; play hard in the corners, screen the goaltender, set up deflections.Red Wings Shop

At 6’3 and 220 pounds, Johan Franzen is a perfectly-sized power forward, and has assumed the role left vacant by Holmstrom when he retired prior to the 2012-13 season.Scoring hat tricks in Games 2 and 4, he finished the round with nine goals, the most by a player in any four-game series in National Hockey League history.Chris Osgood Jersey

On March 30, 2008, he broke Gordie Howe’s record for most game-winning goals in one month, which was previously five.On that night, with Howe in attendance to celebrate his 80th birthday, Franzen netted the game-winner to set the new record at six.Although a few years have passed since his record-breaking spree, Franzen is no less of an offensive threat, especially at playoff time.Chris Chelios Jersey
