It’s not just Nazem Kadri who returns to Toronto on Saturday night.
After helping the Colorado Avalanche win the Cup last spring, Kadri was on the free-agency market for more than a month before he signed a seven-year, $49 million US contract with the Flames in mid-August. Kadri had a hot start with the Flames, starting the season on a six-game point streak, but he then cooled off considerably. He has picked it up a bit recently, recording five points in his past four games, and is tied for second in Flames scoring with 20 points in 27 games.
Hot, of course, barely begins to describe the Leafs’ play. In going 10-0-3 in their past 13 games, the Leafs have gone nearly a full month without losing in regulation, not having done so since Nov. 11 against Pittsburgh. “With Toronto, and I saw it last year, their top players, those guys have taken another whole level in terms of their leadership and they’re by-example type players,” Sutter said. “It’s so evident when you watch them. Even last year, you could see the difference in them.”Article content
