Filip Zadina - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Not playing Saturday Zadina (upper body) will be out of the lineup versus Vancouver on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Zadina left Friday's game in the first period and he did not return. Zadina has been playing with the nagging injury for a while and it came to an apex Friday. He has three goals and five points in 20 games in his first season with the Sharks after playing five seasons in Detroit.

Dealing with upper-body issue Zadina left Friday's game against Montreal due to a "nagging" upper-body injury, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Zadina put one shot on net while logging just 4:14 of ice time Friday. The 23-year-old has yet to miss a game this season but it sounds like he's been playing through a minor issue for some time. His status for Saturday's matchup with the Canucks is still unclear.

Exits Friday's game Zadina won't return to Friday's game against Montreal after sustaining an undisclosed injury.

Impact Zadina logged just 4:14 of ice time before exiting the contest. Going into Friday's action, he had three goals and five points in 19 outings this season. Kevin Labanc (upper body) isn't playing Friday but was able to participate in the pregame warmups, so if Zadina isn't available Saturday versus Vancouver, then perhaps his exit will correspond with Labanc's return.

Scores in San Jose debut Zadina scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Zadina's goal may have been about the only bright spot for the Sharks in this game. The 23-year-old was signed by the Sharks after he agreed to terminate his contract with the Red Wings. Zadina figures to get a larger opportunity in San Jose than he was ever afforded in Detroit, but how much that translates into production remains to be seen. He never posted more than 24 points in any of his five seasons with the Red Wings, but he's off to a solid start in 2023-24.

Injury likely not serious Zadina sustained an undisclosed injury that isn't believed to be serious in Wednesday's game versus the Ducks, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Zadina was hurt in the third period and didn't return to the game, but it sounds like that was more of a precaution. The 23-year-old winger is trying to win a roster spot in training camp after signing a one-year, $1.1 million contract with the Sharks following his previous deal with the Red Wings being terminated. If Zadina makes the team, he'll likely play in a bottom-six role.

Agrees to terms with Sharks Zadina inked a one-year, $1.1 million contract with San Jose on Monday.

Impact Zadina collected 28 goals and 68 points in 190 games with Detroit over the past five seasons prior to having his contract terminated. The 23-year-old forward has failed to live up to expectations since being selected with the No. 6 pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Zadina will get a fresh start with the Sharks, and his offensive upside could make him a solid addition to the roster.

Detroit Red Wings waive Filip Zadina so contract can be terminated Filip Zadina's termination frees the Detroit Red Wings from the $1.825 million annual salary cap hit that would have run through 2023-24.

Red Wings to terminate contract Zadina was placed on unconditional waivers Thursday for the purposes of terminating his contract, per Chris Johnston of TSN.

Impact Because this is a contract termination and not a buyout, Detroit will be completely rid of the final two seasons of Zadina's three-year, $5.475 million contract and won't have to deal with any cap penalty. Assuming Zadina goes unclaimed on unconditional waivers, which is likely given that he was put on regular waivers Monday and cleared, he will become an unrestricted free agent. The 23-year-old had three goals and seven points in 30 contests while averaging 13:06 of ice time with the Red Wings last season.

Goes on waivers Zadina (lower body) was placed on waivers Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact The move indicates that Zadina, who sat out the final 11 games of the 2022-23 campaign due to a lower-body issue, is healthy again. He produced seven points and 51 shots on goal in 30 appearances with Detroit last season. Zadina still has another two years left on his contract, carrying a $1.825 million cap hit.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Breakout campaign remains elusive Zadina missed the final 11 games of the season with a lower-body injury, finishing with three goals and four assists through 30 games.

Impact Ansar Khan of MLive.com suggests the young winger "might have trouble cracking in the lineup next season," also relaying from GM Steve Yzerman that Detroit will seek more offense by looking at options in free agency. Zadina is just 23 years old, but he's produced only 28 goals and 40 assists through 190 career games; the Wings, their fan base, and fantasy managers alike expected much more from him after he was taken sixth overall in the 2018 draft.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Facing season-ending absence Zadina (lower body) won't play against Pittsburgh on Tuesday and may be shut down for the rest of the season, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

Impact Zadina has been limited to a meager 30 games this season due to injuries. Even when healthy, the 23-year-old winger has struggled offensively with just three goals and four assists, his lowest total since 2018-19 when he played in just nine games. Selected by the Wings with the sixth overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, Zadina has yet to live up to expectations with just 28 goals in 190 contests, well behind contemporaries Andrei Svechnikov (112) and Brady Tkachuk (124).
