Detroit Red Wings forward Filip Zadina is set to return to the lineup after being out with a broken leg since November 5. Before the injury, Zadina had not recorded a single point in his nine games. GM Steve Yzerman re-signed Zadina to a three-year contract in good faith, but the forward will now be looking for a fresh start upon his return.
"When I come back, I won’t be thinking about what happened before, how many games I played," Zadina said. "Basically, I want to take it as a preseason game. That’s my fresh start."
