3. Datsyuk is said to be the young protegy of what other play-making center?

Answer: Igor Larionov

He is often compared to Larionov because of his vision on the ice and his play-making skills. Larionov has been helping Datsyuk develop his game, since he came to Detroit in Summer 2001. Larionov is so into helping Datsyuk play well, that his locker is next to Pavel's.

4. In the 2001-2002 season, what All-star right-winger was put with Datsyuk and they developed an instant chemistry?

Answer: Brett Hull

When Brett Hull was put on Datsyuk's right side, he not only found a winger that would be his until Hull retired, but they along with Boyd Devereaux, became an offensive threat throughout the regular season and playoffs. With Datsyuk's passing ability and Hull's patented finish, they were a match made in heaven.

In 2002-2003, Henrik Zetterberg replaced Devereaux and they became the best line for Detroit down the stretch of the regular season. Once in 17 games, the line notched 71 points.

Answer: Two Kids and a Goat

In 2001-2002, it was Datsyuk with Hull and Devereaux for this magic line, and the next season adding Zetterberg to Datsyuk's left was perfect, and they were the best line for Detroit after being put together. Zetterberg and Datsyuk became inseperable in practice and during games, and coach Dave Lewis has said that they breathe the same air, and they know where each other are on the ice at all times.

7. After finishing 9th in team scoring in his rookie year with 35 points, what place did Datsyuk finish in 2002-2003?

Answer: False

The game was against the Phoenix Coyotes. Datsyuk had 2 goals and 2 assists as his line of Hull and Zetterberg combined for nine points. Hull getting a goal and two assists, and Zetterberg getting a goal and an assist.

Answer: St. Louis Blues

This move has become his trademark. This was a beautiful move to get by a defensemen, and it is often said to be a "Gretzky-type" move. Many players have since tried to do this but have failed.

10. Did Datsyuk get his first career playoff goal in the second round of the 2002 playoffs?
