An in-person meeting with the Player Safety Department means that Kadri could be suspended for more than five games.
During the incident, which happened in the third period of Saturday’s Game 2 in Boston, Kadri took exception to a DeBrusk hit on Patrick Marleau, jumping in to retaliate and cross-checking him in the face. Kadri was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct.
