Detroit — Add one more player to the Red Wings’ list regarding the COVID-19 protocol — Filip Zadina.
The young forward's name showed up on the protocol list Friday afternoon, joining forwards Robby Fabbri, Adam Erne and Sam Gagner, and defenseman Jon Merrill as unavailable to play, travel or practice due to COVID protocol.
Interestingly, the Red Wings’ five players match Carolina — most of any NHL teams — whose games have been postponed through Saturday.
The Wings and Hurricanes faced each other the first two games of this regular season, Jan. 14 and 16.
