Filip Zadina hasn’t been as flashy or productive in the preseason as fellow top-10 pick Lucas Raymond, but the Detroit Red Wings have seen encouraging signs.
“He’s played really well the last couple of games, but I thought tonight in a group that didn’t have a whole lot of bright spots he was real good,” coach Jeff Blashill said. following Wednesday’s 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena. “I thought he competed hard, moved the puck north, made good plays coming out of his end.”
Zadina picked up his second assist of the preseason but hasn’t scored a goal in four games.
