Filip Zadina is the latest Detroit Red Wings' player assigned to the minors to work on his game.
Zadina, an underperforming first-round pick from 2018 who hasn't played in three months, was sent to the Grand Rapids Griffins on Thursday. It was an expected move, given his long recovery following surgery, after he incurred a lower-body injury in a Nov. 5 game against the New York Islanders. That was Zadina's ninth appearance of the season, and he had no points and a minus-3 rating.
The Wings are on their bye week and next play Tuesday when they host the Edmonton Oilers.
