Nazem Kadri’s suspension history
This seems like a pertinent time to note Nazem Kadri’s larger suspension history.

November 2013: Nazem Kadri was suspended three games for interference. In that case, he collided with then-Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom.
March 2015: Next, Kadri sat four games for an illegal hit to the head of Matt Fraser.
April 2016: The 2015-16 season ended early for Kadri after he cross-checked Luke Glendening. It was another four-game suspension.
April 2018: Now we get to the back-to-back Kadri suspensions vs. the Bruins in playoff games. Kadri missed Games 2, 3, and 4 in the Maple Leafs’ 2018 First Round series vs. the Bruins for a hit on Tommy Wingels.
April 2019: A year later, the NHL suspended Nazem Kadri for the remainder of the Bruins – Maple Leafs First Round series (3-5 games) for a dangerous hit on Jake DeBrusk.
May 2021: The NHL suspended Nazem Kadri eight games for that hit on Justin Faulk.
