Filip Zadina came out of the Grand Rapids Griffins’ dressing room on Friday morning, still wearing his skates, like he couldn’t wait to get going. He stood in a hallway in Van Andel Arena — less than 24 hours before he would be called up to Detroit Red Wings.
“It’s pretty awesome,” Zadina said. “I’ve been waiting for the chance. It finally came. I’m so excited to go there.”
So are Wings fans.
Zadina was the Wings’ first-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft.
