Avalanche's Nazem Kadri Likely out for Playoffs After Injury from Evander Kane Hit

The Colorado Avs are just one win away from the Stanley Cup Final, but they may have to end their pursuit of a title without one of their primary contributors.

Kadri had surgery on his thumb after he was hit by Kane in the Western Conference Final.

Kadri won't be out for the rest of the playoffs, but he won't be back on the ice until the 2022-23 season.

Kadri would not be available for the rest of the series, according to Bednar.

He's gone." Bednar said that he would be out for the series. It is the most dangerous play in hockey. From behind the boards, he puts him in head first. I will leave it that way.

Kadri never came back after Kane hit him. Kadri had a cast on his wrist, according to Gene.

The NHL Department of Player Safety announced that the player had been suspended for one game.

Kadri's absence would be felt in the Stanley Cup Final against the New York Rangers or the Lightning, even if Colorado didn't need him to close out the Eskimos.

He had a career best 87 points with 59 assists and 28 goals. His plus-minus of plus-13 was the second-best mark of his career, which began in the 2010 season and includes 10 seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and three with Colorado.

The Avs will look to end the game at 8pm. The time is Monday.
