He also added 42 minutes in penalties. His possession numbers were 49.1 percent Corsi and a relative Corsi of -1.6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over his 9-year NHL career Kadri has played solely for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has put up 145 goals and 168 assists for 313 career points in 488 career games. He was originally drafted in the first round, seventh overall of the 2009 NHL draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What This Means for the Future<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could be potentially detrimental to the Leafs playoff run as it takes out a key player on the second line. With Kadri out the Leafs will have to shuffle the lines and potentially put together a line that they haven\u2019t tried yet. Having only missed two games in the last two seasons, the Leafs have not had many chances to try lineup switches without him at centre. This could let Boston take a big series lead, and potentially the series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:\u00a0TORONTO, ON &#8211; APRIL 07: Toronto Maple Leafs Center Nazem Kadri (43) is congratulated by Defenceman Roman Polak (46) and other team-mates on the Leaf&#8217;s bench after his goal during the final NHL 2018 regular-season game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs on April 7, 2018, at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, ON., Canada.
