Injury update
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Qadri has been ruled out for the remainder of the Western Conference Finals against the Edmonton Oilers, head coach Jared Bedner confirmed Saturday while speaking to reporters after a 4-2 Game 3 win.
Qadri abandoned the first round of Saturday’s game after Oilers forward Evander Kane took a hit from behind on the final board.
“He’s out. He’ll be out for at least the series, if not longer,” Bednar said. “I mean, hit, it’s the most dangerous game in hockey. I mean, he hits it in the head—first from behind, you know, eight feet off the board. I’ll leave it there.”
When Qadri was trying to control the puck in the offensive zone for about a minute into the game, Kane crosschecked him into the numbers and dropped him on the board. Kane was assessed a massive five-minute penalty for boarding, and Qadri did not return to the game.
Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog also shared his thoughts on the hit in his postgame comments, telling reporters he was sure the Department of NHL Safety would review it for a possible fine or suspension.
Family
Qadri was born on 6 October 1990 in London, Ontario, the second of five children and the only son born to Sam and Sue Qadri. His grandparents were born in Kader Denis, Lebanon, and moved to Ontario when Qadri’s father was four years old.
Daughter
In July 2018, Qadri married his fiancée Ashley Cave at Casa Loma, Toronto. They had their first child together, a daughter named Nayla in 2019.
House
“Toronto was my home”: Qadri says he never wanted to leave the Leafs. The team’s 2009 first-round draft pick, Qadri played just 52 games for the Leafs in the first three years after being drafted. Well aware of the high expectations placed on him, Qadri then scored 44 points in just 48 games in his fourth year at Toronto, which was cut short by the 2013 season at the lockout. In an article published today on The Players Tribune, Qadri spoke about his time in Toronto.
Injury
The Colorado Avalanche are already without their starting goalkeeper due to injury, and then lost another top player on Saturday night.
Nazem Qadri was injured in the first period of Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals when he was cross checked from behind by Edmonton’s Evander Kane. According to head coach Jared Bednar, he will not return to the series.
“Hit is the most dangerous game in hockey,” said Bednar. “It puts him in headfirst from behind, 8 feet off the board. I’ll leave it there.”
Kane was rated a five-minute major for boarding but was not ejected.
“I was just coming to the backcheck. The puck went wide, sort of dribble into the corner. I know he likes to reverse it,” Kane said. “I was just trying to bump into him. That’s all I did. Unfortunately, he awkwardly went into the boards and hurt his hands. But it was unfortunate.”
