Zadina did not play the final two periods of Friday's game with the Montreal Canadiens, a 3-2 shootout loss for the Sharks, with Quinn saying after the game that the winger's upper body issue had been bothering him and it just acted up.
Zadina, 23, was signed by the Sharks to a one-year, $1.1 million deal in July after he and the Detroit Red Wings, who drafted him sixth overall in 2018, mutually agreed to terminate his previous contract. Seeking a fresh start with another team, Zadina left behind $4.56 million in actual money he was owed to become a free agent. Feeling he would get that opportunity under Quinn, he joined the Sharks on a short-term contract and will be a restricted free agent with arbitration rights after the season.
Kevin Labanc will take Zadina's spot in the lineup. Labanc missed games Wednesday and Friday after he was injured in the game against the Canucks on Monday when he was slew-footed by forward Nils Hoglander.
