Nazem Kadri out until playoffs

On Thursday night, Nazem Kadri took a hard cross-check to his chest area from Timo Meier. This sent him flying into the back-end of another San Jose Sharks player and the boards. He went down to the ice clutching his upper body/shoulder/arm area.

It was certainly a concern but that concern wore off as he finished the game with two assists returning from injury. He didn’t practice the next morning and ultimately didn’t play Saturday afternoon. It looked like he might’ve tried to play, as Ray Ferraro on the ABC broadcast said he saw Kadri leaving when he entered the building.
