Nylander shifts to centre with Kadri in limbo. kristen_shilton has MORE:
TORONTO – At some point on Monday, Nazem Kadri’s availability for the remainder of the Maple Leafs’ first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against Boston is expected to be determined, following an in-person hearing with the league’s Department of Player Safety in New York.
That’s not exactly how the Leafs’ drew up their coveted 1-2-3 punch at centre of John Tavares, Auston Matthews and Kadri, but it’s the best option they're left with. The Leafs’ coach has remained neutral on the circumstances enveloping Kadri, neither defending nor vilifying his actions. DeBrusk said in the wake of Saturday’s game he’s received messages on social media that haven’t been “the nicest” but is refusing comment on Kadri’s impending suspension. The 22-year-old did say he felt the hit on Marleau precipitating the incident fell well within the bounds of playoff hockey.
