Zadina Will Take Mantha’s Spot On The Power Play

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,

Filip Zadina takes Mantha’s spot on the right flank on one of the power-play units. Zadina made his Red Wings season debut in Sunday’s 2-0 loss to Carolina, a game in which Detroit had only just power play, in the final three minutes of the game.

“Filip Zadina is a shooter similar to Anthony Mantha, so can he fill a similar-type role?” coach Jeff Blashill said. “I’m not saying he’s going to do what Anthony did, but can he fill a similar-type role? We’re just trying to put guys in spots where hopefully they can be successful.
