Filip Zadina Signs Multi-Year Contract Extension In Switzerland
Swiss club HC Davos has signed three of its key forwards to three-year contract extensions – Czech Filip Zadina, 25, Canadian Adam Tambellini, 30, and Swede Simon Ryfors, 27. 'We are delighted that Simon, Filip, and Adam have so clearly committed to HCD and are planning their future with us,' said club sports director Jan Alston. 'All three are hungry for more, and we expect a high level of play from them over the next three years.' It's interesting that Zadina chose to sign long-term in Davos after last summer, when the Czech winger was reportedly close to signing with his hometown club Dynamo Pardubice, but a sticking point was term – the club wanted a multi-year deal but Zadina, then 24, wanted to keep his NHL options available and chose the shorter-term offer from Davos. Presumably, this contract contains an opt-out in case he receives an NHL offer. Last season, Zadina had 43 points in 53 National League regular-season and playoff games. He also had four points in three games in the Spengler Cup, which Davos hosts annually. In addition to Tambellini and Ryfors, Zadina's teammates in Davos this season will include ex-NHLers Joakim Nordström, Brendan Lemieux, Rasmus Asplund and Klas Dahlbeck. Rasmus Asplund Leaves Florida Organization For Switzerland Swedish forward Rasmus Asplund, 27, has signed a two-year contract with HC Davos, the National League club announced on Tuesday. Originally from Pardubice, Czechia, Zadina went overseas at age 17 to play junior hockey for the QMJHL's Halifax Mooseheads. After winning the league's rookie-of-the-year award and making the first all-star team, he was drafted sixth overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Between 2018 and 2024, Zadina played 262 NHL games for the Wings and San Jose Sharks, recording 91 points and 40 penalty minutes. In 2023-24, his last NHL campaign to date, Zadina hit career highs in games played (72) and goals (13). Internationally, Zadina performed brilliantly for the Czechs at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship in Buffalo, recording eight points in seven games as the Czechs finished fourth. In his only senior-level World Championship to date in Riga in 2021, Zadina had four points in eight games. Photo © Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images.

How to watch England vs Italy live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Reigning champs England face underdogs Italy in an intriguing semifinal at the women's European championships in Geneva, Switzerland on Tuesday. MORE — EURO 2025 schedule, scores Sarina Wiegman's England made it through to the final four after an epic, almighty scrap with Sweden in the quarterfinals, as the Lionesses won 3-2 on penalty kicks. They had trailed 2-0 in the first half but launched an incredible comeback late in the second half to take the game to extra time, as the reigning champs eventually won on penalty kicks as goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was the hero. England have been far from their best so far in this tournament but they've done enough to make it to the semifinals and are the favorites to advance. Italy have absolutely nothing to lose and Andrea Soncin's side have made it to this stage of the competition for the first time since 1997. They upset Norway 2-1 in the quarterfinals and the Italians are direct, tough to play against and will have no problem with sitting deep and then looking to hit England on the counter. Everybody expects England to advance but Italy are dangerous. How to watch England vs Italy live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 3pm ET, Tuesday How to watch, TV channel: Fox Sports England focus, team news Sarina Wiegman will be hoping for a straightforward victory for England after the rollercoaster of emotions the quarterfinal against Sweden delivered. Captain and star center back Leah Williamson should be fit after an ankle injury, while Wiegman has some huge calls to make in attack. Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang had a massive impact off the bench against Sweden and are pushing for starts. Will Wiegman go for it and start Agyemang up top with Alessia Russo from the start? Italy focus, team news The Italians have scored first in all of their games at this tournament and that has been key on this dream run to the semifinals. Veteran Cristiana Girelli scored twice to lead the Azzurre to an unexpected win against Norway and Italy's star striker and captain holds the key to their hopes. They were beaten 3-1 by fellow semifinalists Spain in the group stage but Italy have shown they can hang in there in games against the top teams. If they score early against an England side which has struggled defensively in this tournament, the shock is well and truly on. England vs Italy prediction This will be a lot closer than most predict, but England's quality in attack will be too much for Italy to handle. It could go to extra time, but England will advance. Just. England 2-1 Italy.
