CHICAGO – Adam Boqvist snapped a third-period tie, Dylan Sikura scored his first NHL goal and the Chicago Blackhawks rallied past the lowly Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Sunday night. Filip Zadina and Luke Glendening scored for the NHL-worst Red Wings (10-30-3), and Jimmy Howard made 23 stops. Dominik Kubalik added an empty-netter with 20 seconds left as the Blackhawks improved to 7-3-0 in their last 10 games. It was the fourth goal of the season for the 20-year-old Zadina, who was selected by the Red Wings with the No. The Red Wings host the Blackhawks on March 6.

The Detroit Red Wings have trimmed their roster to 25 ahead of the season opener, which is Saturday against the Predators in Nashville, and Zadina's name was on the list. He was the 6th overall pick in the 2018 NHL draft and was expected to contribute to the Red Wings offense sooner than later. After several preseason games, he failed to gain a spot on new General Manager Steve Yzerman's Red Wings roster. READ BACK: Is Red Wings top pick Filip Zadina as good as we think he is?

The Red Wings will have to trim the roster to 23 to start the season.

He is coming off of a real bad year (6 goals, 13 assists, -14 rating in 71 games played) and the Red Wings have suddenly added Erne to the roster. The 23-year-old winger played 60 games with the Wings this past season (3 goals, 6 assists) -- is he in the mix? There's also Madison Bowey, who the Red Wings acquired through the Nick Jensen trade in February. Who is actually going to be playing for the Red Wings? Goalies:Jimmy HowardJonathan BernierCalvin PickardI put together a quick recap of the major Red Wings offseason moves here.

That's kind of where I'm at right now when it comes to the Red Wings and their top draft pick from last year. If Filip Zadina is in the lineup full-time this season (and everything to this point suggests he will be), then he needs to be scoring at least 20 goals as a rookie. He played nine games with the Red Wings this past season -- he scored 1 goal and 2 assists in that limited time. It's not unreasonable to demand 20 goals from him this season if he is playing a full-time role on the first or second line. By the way, in November last year I wrote this: "Andreas Athanasiou is on the Red Wings to score goals.

Filip Zadina of the Detroit Red Wings skates against the Montreal Canadiens at Little Caesars Arena on February 26, 2019 in Detroit, Michigan. Regardless, here's a look at a few players in the system who could crack this Red Wings lineup:Jacob de la Rose (C, LW)Jacob de la Rose of the Detroit Red Wings on November 01, 2018 in Detroit, Michigan. Dennis Cholowski (D)Dennis Cholowski of the Detroit Red Wings skates against the Vancouver Canucks at Little Caesars Arena on November 06, 2018 in Detroit. Taro Hirose (LW)Taro Hirose of the Detroit Red Wings on March 19, 2019 in New York City. Ryan Kuffner (LW)Kuffner, 23, also joined the Red Wings out of college this past season.

The Detroit Red Wings own the 6th overall pick in this year's NHL draft. Remember, last year when Filip Zadina fell into Ken Holland's lap at 6th overall was the most exciting Red Wings draft ever. I always like to see teams in these positions take best overall, especially young rebuilding teams like the Red Wings. Short of putting together yet another mock draft -- see rant here -- forward Trevor Zegras could be the best option available for the Red Wings at 6th overall. Buffalo (from STL)Here's the rest of the Red Wings draft positions:

The Detroit Red Wings selected 10 players in seven rounds of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Ryan O'Reilly (RW)Ryan O'Reilly poses after being selected 98th overall by the Detroit Red Wings on June 23, 2018 in Dallas, Texas. So it's safe to assume the Red Wings have had them in their sights for a while. It was not an earth-shattering Red Wings debut, but he didn't exactly join the best situation in Detroit either.
