Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri scored twice in their victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday evening. Kadri tallied his first goal of the night in the second frame on the power-play on a snapshot from the slot. He then would go on to score the empty netter to clinch the victory in the final minute. The 34-year-old has now tallied at least two points in each of the first two games of the campaign. In the season opener he tallied two assists. Kadri has shown great chemistry with his linemates Andrei Kuzmenko and Samuel Honzek both in even strength situations and man-advantage situations and should remain locked into all fantasy lineups.
Nazem Kadri Registers Two Assists In Wednesday's Win
Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri had two assists as the team shocked the Vancouver Canucks with a comeback in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win. The Flames played out an awful first 20 minutes of the new campaign, falling 4-1 behind, but the team found a way to turn things around. Defensemen Rasmus Andersson and MacKenzie Weegar benefited from Kadri's playmaking, with the latter scoring in a power-play situation. Kadri finished as Calgary's top scorer last season and should enjoy another productive campaign as the top-line center in 2024-25.
Nazem Kadri Picks Up Three Points As Flames Take Down Jets
Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri produced his second three-point effort of the month in Monday's meeting with Winnipeg, leading the team to a 6-3 victory. It was an impressive comeback effort from Calgary, as the team turned a 3-1 deficit into a win. Kadri had two goals and an assist during the team's five-goal scoring burst. The veteran centerman struggled badly at the start of the campaign, but he's turned his season around to become Calgary's leading scorer. In 56 outings, Kadri has produced 48 points (19 goals, 29 assists).
Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri distributed three assists in Tuesday's 4-1 victory against the Bruins. The three-point performance was Kadri's first of the season, while the 33-year-old provided helpers on goals by Flames forwards Andrei Kuzmenko, Connor Zary and Jonathan Huberdeau in the contest. Kadri has bounced back nicely after an underwhelming first season with the Flames, as the veteran forward has totaled a team-high 42 points (16 goals, 26 assists) through 50 games.
Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri had a lackluster debut campaign with the team, but he hopes to bounce back in 2023-24, along with a number of his teammates. "I think a lot of guys on the team are ready to kind of play to their potential," Kadri said this week. "For whatever reason, we got a little restricted last year, so I'm just looking forward to a clean slate and starting the year off strong." After signing a seven-year, $49 million deal as a free agent last offseason, Kadri put up only 56 points (24 goals, 32 assists) in 82 games, while being a team-worst minus-19. He now gets a fresh start under new leadership, with longtime assistant Ryan Huska replacing Darryl Sutter as head coach. "Any time you get fresh faces, it's just a new energy and a new enthusiasm," Kadri said of the coaching change. "So, of course, with the type of personnel we have, we can play creative. We have a lot of skill."
Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri completed the scoring in Friday's 4-1 victory over the Islanders, potting his 15th goal of the season. He became only the fourth player since 1993-94 with as many goals through his first 40 games with the franchise. Kadri has also had 15 assists this season. The veteran had a pretty rough start to life in Calgary, entering December with only 15 points, but he has quickly doubled his points tally and looks ready to boost his production even further during the latter half of the campaign.
Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri had his second three-point night of the campaign on Monday, finishing a 3-2 victory over Arizona with a goal and two assists. He helped to set up a pair of first-period goals and lit the lamp himself 4:18 from the end of regulation, scoring the game-winning goal on the power play. One of the assists also came with the man advantage. The 32-year-old is now on 19 points for the season. Kadri has done reasonably well so far, but nine of his points came with his first six appearances of the season. He has also struggled in even-strength situations, posting only nine points and logging a minus-five rating. With that said, Calgary's second line has worked better in recent weeks, and Kadri should be able to improve his scoring rate in the near future.
The Calgary Flames have signed center Nazem Kadri to a seven-year, $49 million contract, with an AAV of $7 million. Kadri is the final remaining star UFA to sign a deal this offseason, and it looks like taking his time didn't end up hurting him. Kadri has always been a productive player, but he absolutely exploded last season to the tune of 28 goals and 59 assists in 71 games. It should be noted that Kadri was with the Colorado Avalanche, who are the best offense in the league. Still, Kadri should bolster the Flames' top six and give them one of the best one-two punches at center in the league along with Elias Lindholm. He is likely to decline at least a little bit from last year, so be careful not to draft him expecting the same results. He should still remain a solid fantasy asset, though.
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri had a dream Stanley Cup Final debut on Wednesday when he scored in overtime to give his team a 3-2 win. He was back in the lineup after missing four games with a broken thumb and ended the game 12:02 into the extra period. Kadri scored his seventh goal of the playoffs and he now sits on 15 points with 14 games played. The 31-year-old has made a very quick recovery from injury, but it appears that he isn't quite 100 percent yet as Kadri avoided taking faceoffs. He skated with Gabriel Landeskog and Valeri Nichushkin, and Colorado's captain took all the faceoffs when the trio was on the ice.
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri (thumb) is edging closer to his return and could be back in action Wednesday in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. The talented forward has been progressing steadily since having thumb surgery and his participation in Wednesday's game seems like a very real possibility. He's been out of commission since getting hurt at the start of Game 3 in the Western Conference Finals against Edmonton on June 4. J.T. Compher has been filling in for Kadri as the second-line center. The Avalanche will be desperate to get some help, with Andre Burakovsky (hand) sitting out a second consecutive game on Wednesday.
Nazem Kadri, Andrew Cogliano Could Play In Stanley Cup Finals
Colorado Avalanche centers Nazem Kadri and Andrew Cogliano could make their return during the Stanley Cup Final after undergoing surgeries during the conference final series, according to head coach Jared Bednar. Kadri suffered the injury when he was hit into the boards in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Oilers, while Cogliano blocked a shot off of his hand in Game 4. Throughout the 2022 Playoffs, Kadri appeared in 13 games with a total of six goals, eight assists and 14 points, while Cogliano played in 11 of the contests with two goals and three points in total while contributing in other areas. The Avalanche await the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Lightning and Rangers.
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri has undergone thumb surgery and it's likely that he will miss the rest of the playoffs. The Avalanche had already ruled the forward out for the rest of the Western Conference Finals after he was hurt early in Game 3. Colorado had no trouble cruising to a 4-2 win without Kadri, but he will still be a big miss. The 31-year-old has been in superb form throughout the season and notched 14 points in 13 games in the playoffs before getting injured. There's a pretty big hole to fill in the middle now and it looks like Mikko Rantanen might shift to center again as he did at times during the regular season.
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri will miss the rest of the series against Edmonton after getting hurt in Game 3 on Saturday. He reportedly left the arena with a cast on his right arm after Evander Kane sent him awkwardly into the boards with a hit from behind only a minute into the game. It's bad news for the Avalanche, although they likely won't need him in the Western Finals anyway after grabbing a 3-0 series lead. Kadri had started the series with four points in two games. He's totaled 14 points in total across 13 outings during the team's playoff run.
Nazem Kadri Collects Three Points In Avalanche Win
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri was responsible for three assists in a 4-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Kadri is providing a phenomenal amount of offensive output for Colorado in this year's playoff, run-producing six goals and eight helpers in 12 contests. The London, Ontario native is relied heavily upon in Colorado as he is logging 18:40 of ice time per playoff game. All of Kadri's helpers Thursday came during even-strength play.
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri came up with his first career playoff hat trick and added an assist as the team rolled to a 3-1 series lead against St. Louis with a 6-3 victory in Game 4. He scored twice in the second period to help turn a 1-0 deficit into a comfortable lead and bagged another one in the third before wrapping things up with an assist on Mikko Rantanen's empty-net goal. This was a huge response from Kadri to death threats and racial abuse he received after being involved in an incident in Game 3 where St. Louis' netminder Jordan Binnington suffered a series-ending injury. Kadri has notched six points across the last two games, upping his tally to 10 points for the postseason.
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri (upper body) will be back in the lineup for Wednesday's visit to Seattle. He's yet to feature this month and has sat out eight games. The 31-year-old had had a fantastic campaign with 83 points in 65 games, and he'll be hoping to continue where he left off, as Kadri was on a run of 10 points in seven games before getting hurt. Head coach Jared Bednar hasn't confirmed where in the lineup Kadri returns, but it feels like a pretty safe bet that he'll go back to centering the second line, bumping J.T. Compher down to the third.
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri (upper body) will likely return to the lineup in the upcoming week. The team will start the action on Monday against Washington and will have four games in total. Kadri has missed the past seven games, but he has been back at practice for a while. The 31-year-old has had a career year with 83 points in 65 games. He was red-hot before getting hurt, going for seven points in four games. Kadri's return will bump J.T. Compher down from the second line, which lowers his fantasy appeal considerably.
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri (upper body) missed Saturday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh and it looks like he'll be out for multiple games. "He's going to miss some time. I don't know how much," said head coach Jared Bednar after Saturday's win, adding that he expects his second-line center to be ready for the Stanley Cup playoffs. Injuries have escorted the Avalanche all season long and yet they still have the league's best record Kadri has played a major part in the team's success with 83 points in 65 games. J.T. Compher has taken over his spot on the second line.

This will be Kadri's second night off in a week and hopefully, it won't become a recurring theme. Kadri has scored in both outings he's had over the last week, continuing his fantastic season. The 31-year-old is the fourth-best scorer in the league with 34 points in 22 games. J.T. Compher (upper body) will be back in action on Friday, and he'll take over Kadri's job as the second-line center.
