Oilers' Forward Kane Suspended One Game For Injuring Nazem Kadri
(CBS4) - Oilers Forward Evander Kane has been suspended one game by the National Hockey League for boarding Avalanche Forward Nazem Kadri during Saturday's game.
Kadri was hurt and will miss the rest of the series as a result of the injury. The NHL said it took into account the penalty (boarding), the injury Kadri suffered, and Kane's history of suspensions.
