The only time you’ll hear Nazem Kadri’s name for the rest of the series is in a recap when the Bruins and Maple Leafs conclude latest postseason matchup.
Kadri had an in-person hearing with the NHL Player Safety Department in New York on Monday, meaning a potential suspension of six or more games under the league’s collective bargaining agreement. Well, the department didn’t exactly go down that route, but they made the statement nonetheless.
The enigmatic Leafs forward earned a suspension for the rest of the first round — between three and five games — following his cross check to the face of Jake DeBrusk in Game 2 Saturday night.
