ST. LOUIS — Nazem Kadri scored a goal on Monday night in Game 4 — the second of four consecutive for the Avalanche and the first of three for him in the game — and the St. Louis Blues couldn’t stand it.
The hosts were being dominated by Colorado at Enterprise Center and Kadri’s first of two goals in a stretch of 3:30 caused two St. Louis players to lose their composure during the second period.
Pavel Buchnevich and David Perron attacked Kadri, piling on top of him, leading to a 5-on-3 Blues disadvantage and ultimately their demise in the Avs’ 6-3 victory that gave them a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinal series.
