Detroit Red Wings’ Filip Zadina injury update: Here is the latest | Freep

Coach Jeff Blashill said Wednesday that Zadina is still two to three weeks from possibly reappearing in the lineup. He hasn’t played since Feb. 1, the day after he suffered a lower-body injury vs. the New York Rangers.

“He’d need a week, probably, once he gets skating again,” Blashill said. “But I would say he’s at least a week, if not two weeks away from being able to skate.”

This sucks. I miss Filip Zadina.

Andreas Athanasiou, Detroit Red Wings

He hasn’t scored a ton of goals this season, partly because he’s been among the league’s unluckiest players at both ends of the ice, but Athanasiou is a middle-six goal scorer who could really push a team over the edge if they can properly insulate him.

Some info on Athanasiou in this one.
