Henrik Zetterberg scored in his first game of the exhibition season, contributing one of four power-play goals as the Red Wings won their last tune-up before weekend games against the St. Louis Blues.

The Red Wings beat Farjestad BK, 6-2, Wednesday at Lofbergs Lila Arena in Karlstad, also getting goals from Jason Williams, Valtteri Filppula, Brian Rafalski, Niklas Kronwall and Todd Bertuzzi. Jimmy Howard made 22 saves filling in for Chris Osgood, whose flu-like symptoms made him a late scratch but aren’t expected to keep him from playing in Friday’s opener.

With Zetterberg returning from a groin injury, the match provided the first opportunity to watch his line with Bertuzzi and Dan Cleary, both of whom also have had groin problems. The line racked up four points.

“I could tell Cleary and Z missed training camp.” Mike Babcock said via phone following the game. “Z has no pace, so it was good he got to play. I thought Bert was good.”

Bertuzzi standing out among the three was a positive — it’s only a matter of time before Zetterberg and Cleary regain form. Bertuzzi is intriguing, because while he’s a handful of years removed from being arguably the NHL’s premier power forward, he’s still a 6-foot-3, 220-pound body with great hands.
