Avalanche’s Nazem Kadri Facing Suspension After KOing Blues Defenseman Justin Faulk With a Brutal Shot to the Head

SJ - May 20, 2021

The Avalanche's Nazem Kadri will probably be watching the rest of the playoff series against the Blues from home. He was ejected during Colorado's 6-3 Game 2 win over the Blues for a dirty hit.

Kadri knocked out St. Louis defenseman Justin Faulk with a brutal blindside hit to the head.

Given Kadri's history of dirty hits and multiple suspensions he's likely going to be sidelined for a few games. I wouldn't be surprised if he's suspended for the rest of this series.

Kadri's got an ass kicking coming his way the next time he takes the ice against the Blues.

Colorado’s Nazem Kadri has been offered an in-person hearing via Zoom for an Illegal Check to the Head on St. Louis’ Justin Faulk. Date and time TBD.
