Yet another member of the Detroit Red Wings has entered the National Hockey League’s COVID-19 protocol.
Less than an hour before Saturday’s game against the New Jersey Devils, the Red Wings announced @Filip Zadina had been placed in COVID-19 protocol and would not be eligible to play.
Zadina joins fellow players @Robby Fabbri, @Michael Rasmussen, @Carter Rowney, @Givani Smith, and @Alex Nedeljkovic, as well as coaches Jeff Blashill and Alex Tanguay, in the Red Wings’ contingent of personnel currently in COVID-19 protocol.
Recently recalled Grand Rapids Griffins forwards @Taro Hirose and @Kyle Criscuolo will both draw into the lineup for Detroit in Saturday’s game. The Red Wings will run with 11 forwards and seven defensemen in the contest.
Tonight's *projected* lineup. #LGRW
Zadina, who turned 22 last month, has four goals and 10 points in 30 games with the Red Wings this season.
