Zadina has been out for Detroit since Nov. 5 when he broke his leg while blocking a shot against the New York Islanders. In the lineup, in which Dominik Kubalík was missing, he took a place in the fourth formation and played less than nine minutes. Even so, he became the first star of the match when he exchanged the puck with Oskar Sundqvist in a two-on-one renumbering and finished the whole action into an open goal.
