from Arthur J. Regner of DetroitRedWings.com,
"Zadina is still two to three weeks away, so until we get to where he's skating, he'd need a week probably once he gets skating again," Blashill said after Wednesday's practice at the BELFOR Training Center inside Little Caesars Arena. "So you guys (media) will have a way better feel once you see him back on the ice but I would say he's at least a week, if not two weeks away, from being able to skate."
Blashill also indicated he probably underestimated the severity of Zadina's injury originally, but he wanted to stress that Zadina has not suffered a setback while rehabbing his foot....
When asked if the Red Wings are considering calling up defenseman Moritz Seider from Grand Rapids, depending on Hronek's condition, Blashill was quick to respond.
"Nothing in the immediate future," Blashill said in regard to a Seider call-up. "I'm not saying it won't happen at some point."...
Since his arrival, Lindstrom has impressed the Wings brass and his teammates with his calm demeanor and good decision-making. He hasn't looked out of place on the ice.
"I am happy with the way I played so far; I've played solid hockey my first games here," Lindstrom said on Tuesday after the Wings' optional morning skate. "I am starting to get more and more comfortable out there too, so I am happy so far."
Though he's played well since the call-up, Lindstrom admits he was both surprised and not surprised when he was told he was headed to Detroit.
"I felt like the last 10 games before I got called up in GR, I played really well, but I felt like if I did get called up it would be a little bit later," Lindstrom said. "So it was a little bit of a shock, but it was a fun call and I've enjoyed my time here."
