Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri has been suspended three games for his hit on Boston Bruins forward Tommy Wingels on Thursday.

Kadri launched himself at a fallen Wingels, who had his back turned to Kadri.

The officials gave Kadri a major for charging and a game misconduct.

“He was turning up the wall, so I was going for the hit and he ended up falling,” Kadri said after the game. “I mean it happened pretty quick.”

Game 2 of the series, which Boston leads 1-0 after Thursday’s 5-1 win, will be played on Saturday.
