Filip Zadina is about to get his first taste of NHL action.
The Detroit Red Wings have recalled the 19-year-old winger from the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins, the team announced Saturday.
Zadina posted 15 goals and 31 points in 45 games with the Griffins this season.
The Red Wings selected him sixth overall in last June's draft after he racked up 44 goals and 82 points in 57 contests with the QMJHL's Halifax Mooseheads in 2017-18.
Detroit hosts the San Jose Sharks on Sunday.
