Nazem Kadri won't be eligible to play again until a potential Game 5 against the Boston Bruins.
The Toronto Maple Leafs forward has been suspended three games for boarding Boston's Tommy Wingels in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Thursday night.
Kadri was given a five-minute charging major and a game misconduct for hitting Wingels in the numbers and into the boards midway through the third period.
In its video explanation, the NHL's Department of Player Safety said Kadri drove "recklessly into the defenseless Wingels, causing his head to dangerously impact the boards."
