Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri left Game 3 of the Western Conference finals with an injury after a hit from behind by Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane on Saturday night.
Kane was given a five-minute major for boarding after cross-checking Kadri from behind into the end boards just 1:04 into Game 3, the Oilers' first home game of the series. Kadri was trying to control the puck in the Oilers' zone. Kane put his stick across Kadri's jersey numbers and shoved him into the boards.
The Avalanche defeated the Oilers, 4-2, to take a 3-0 series lead.
