NEW YORK — The Toronto Maple Leafs will have to do without Nazem Kadri for the rest of their first-round playoff series with the Boston Bruins.
It could have been a longer suspension for Kadri. He was offered an in-person hearing by the NHL, meaning the league had the option to suspend him for more than five games. The league’s department of player safety said in a video that Kadri’s poor disciplinary track record and the intentional targeting of DeBrusk’s head were factors in determining that supplementary discipline was necessary.
Kadri was banned three games for boarding on Bruins winger Tommy Wingels the opener of last year’s first-round series with the Bruins. Boston won that series in seven games.
