Detroit — Filip Zadina is heading back to Grand Rapids.
The Red Wings reassigned the young forward Wednesday — the Wings' 2018 first-round pick — after Zadina had played seven games, assisting on three goals.
Zadina, 20, had all three assists in the last four games, including setting up Christoffer Ehn for the Wings’ lone goal in Tuesday’s 5-1 loss to Winnipeg.
After a timid start, Zadina was a bit more noticeable in the last several games.
