Zadina played 16:03 and was a plus 1. It was a nice bounce-back game for the young rookie forward. The night prior in Chicago the Detroit Red Wings displayed an eight-goal outburst, Zadina was held off the scorecard and was a minus 1.
The idea of starting Z in Grand Rapids gives us a sour taste in our mouth. A rebuilding Red Wings team and we have to start this young difference maker in the AHL? It may make a little sense. If your Ken Holland and Jeff Blashill you’re granted a bit of flexibility because you have the option to send him to the Griffins at the age of 18.
