Henrik Zetterberg was the Detroit Red Wings top goal scorer in the first decade of the 21st century tallying 193 goals in 466 games.

Brendan Shanahan was second with 183 and tied Zetterberg in goals per game at 0.41.

Love him or loathe him, Marian Hossa's single season in Detroit was good enough to land him at #18 on the top 25 list. His 0.54 goals per game is the best of any player in the deacde and he is the only player in the top 25 to have played fewer than 100 games.

Right wingers dominate the top 25 taking nine spots on the list, while Nicklas Lidstrom and Mathieu Schneider are the only two defenseman. Left wingers occupy two of the top four spots and seven in total, leaving seven centers on the list, four of whom are in the top 10.

Here is the list of the Detroit Red Wings top 25 goas scorers of the past decade:
