I thought Zadina looked great. He's clearly putting himself under a lot of pressure and needs to relax a bit but once he gets the monkey off his back I think he's going to start rolling.
Aye he had quite a few blunders. Hope your assessment is right and its just the pressure and now what to expect in the future.
Whiffing on passes, passing straight to opposition, failing on most shots to hit net.
He did good job of skating, did decent on forecheck, although, was clueless about stick-checking. Couple times he pressed opposition near blue-line or neutral and just skated by them instead of trying to use his stick to nudge the puck away. Just your classic Mantha 'fly-by'.
