Avalanche’s Kadri out against Oilers

EDMONTON, ALBERTA — Nazem Kadri is a major reason the Colorado Avalanche are one win away from the franchise’s first trip to the Stanley Cup Final in more than two decades.

They’ll have to take that step without him.

Kadri is out for at least the rest of the Western Conference final against the Edmonton Oilers after being injured on an illegal hit by Evander Kane in Game 3. The Avalanche are up 3-0 and go for the sweep Monday night in Edmonton.

“He’s out for the series, possibly longer,” coach Jared Bednar said Sunday. “We should find that out in the next few days. My thoughts are the same on the hit: It’s a dangerous hit.”

On Sunday, the NHL suspended Kane for Game 4.

The Oilers are looking to become just the fifth team in league history to win a series after falling behind 3-0.
