Kadri explained. “I was simply sitting behind him, poking it with my stick, and I believe their defensemen connected with me and shoved me into him. So, if that hadn’t been the case, I doubt I would have struck him at all. It’s a bouncing puck. I’m just trying to get it out there.”
St. Louis was up 1-0 at the time before losing 5-2. Colorado is up 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
