26CornerBlitz Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 London Knight Nikita Zadorov feeling more confident for his second Memorial Cup appearance “I feel more like a leader,” he said. “When I came, I was a shutdown (defender). I was just the third pair defensive pair. Now I’m a top four, play a lot more and have a lot of ice time. When I came I didn’t play a lot of offence. Now I play a lot more. “I’ve played at a different level in the NHL and I feel like I should do the best for my team.” Confidence is not something lacking in Zadorov. He believes in his abilities. His stint in the NHL has only made him more confident in what he can do. “The NHL is the biggest level in the world,” he said. “I know how to play there and it’s helped me a lot. It’s more easy to play here right now.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
