Nazem Kadri doesn't seem too concerned about a warning issued by Ben Chiarot.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward caught the Winnipeg Jets defenseman with a big hit near the end of the second period of the Leafs' overtime win Tuesday night.

Kadri wasn't penalized for the check, which led to Chiarot making a rather ominous statement after the game.

"When you see the video, you see him leave his feet (and) you see him end up in their bench," Chiarot said. "That's fine. It's not the right time or place to chase him down, but there will be a time down the line - it might not be this year, it might not be next year - but there will be a time (when) the shoe will be on the other foot."

When asked about the incident Wednesday, Kadri said he was just trying to finish his check, and when told of Chiarot's threat, the Leafs center couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's not the first time I've heard that, that's for sure," he told reporters with a laugh, as relayed by TSN's Mark Masters.

Kadri insisted that he wasn't rattled by the Jets blue-liner's remarks when asked about them again later in the scrum.

"I'm not worried at all. I'll be here for hopefully a few years, but ... if that (were) one of my teammates getting hit like that, I probably wouldn't be too happy, so I expect that kind of reaction," he said.

The Leafs and Jets don't meet again in this regular season, so any retaliation will have to wait.
