Toronto Maple Leafs centre Nazem Kadri will not receive any additional discipline for his controversial hit on Ottawa Senators defenceman Cody Ceci on Saturday night, according to Damien Cox of the Toronto Star.

The play occurred with approximately 5:25 left in the second period when Ceci went to retrieve a puck from behind his own net. Kadri then appeared to come up and hit the 20-year-old from behind, forcing him to lose control of the puck and slam his head into the boards. The resulting turnover led to a Joffrey Lupul goal. The Maple Leafs won Saturday’s contest 6-3.
The 23-year-old Kadri was suspended for three games earlier this season for a hit on Minnesota Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom during a shootout.
