Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri is expected to miss the rest of the Western Conference Final after leaving Game 3 with an injury. Colorado head coach Jared Bednar confirmed the news after the game, adding Kadri could be out for “longer” than just this series.
Kadri suffered the injury in the first period when Evander Kane checked him head first into the boards. Kane got a five-minute major on the play for boarding, but Kadri couldn’t return.
Bednar wasn’t happy with the hit by Kane.
“The hit is the most dangerous play in hockey,” Bednar said, via, ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski.
