Filip Zadina's third-period goal lifts Red Wings to 2-1 win over Calgary

Detroit − Filip Zadina picked a pretty good time to get his first goal of the season.

Playing in his first game since November, after suffering a lower-body injury, Zadina's third-period goal lifted the Red Wings to a 2-1 victory Thursday over Calgary. Goaltender Ville Husso made 34 saves as the Wings also killed three Flames power plays, including two in the third period, preserving the lead.

Coach Derek Lalonde himself seemed excited after the morning skate about Zadina getting an opportunity to play. Zadina hadn't scored a point in nine games earlier this season, then missed almost three months after blocking a shot.
