Detroit – In a perfect world, the Red Wings would’ve preferred to let prospect Filip Zadina ride his hot streak in Grand Rapids for a while longer. But these are far from perfect times.
So, when Wings’ leading goal scorer Anthony Mantha went down with a lower-body injury early in the loss at New Jersey Saturday, they were forced to make an emergency call for Zadina.
“It’s very day to day,” coach Jeff Blashill said of Zadina’s promotion before the game Sunday.
