The message to Filip Zadina was simple: When you get the puck, shoot it.
The Detroit Red Wings’ prize pick from the 2018 draft will make his NHL debut Sunday, and while the emphasis is for him to enjoy the experience, it is also to encourage him to be himself. This is an audition not for this season but for the next one, and the Wings want him to feel at ease while showing how far he has come since training camp.
