Nazem Kadri is still ailing from his broken thumb he suffered from a dirty cross-check by Evander Kane. While he was out for Game 4 against the Edmonton Oilers and eventually received surgery for his thumb, he is eyeing a return to the ice before the season is over.
Coach Jared Bednar said yesterday morning that there may be a chance some of the injured players can be on the ice. This may include Kadri - even if it is in a non-contact sense. If he does skate, he will almost certainly be in a non-contact jersey.
