Nazem Kadri ? who did not score in 17 games with the Leafs this season ? will be assigned to the Marlies to work on his overall game and physical strength.
LUCAS OLENIUK/TORONTO STARThe Leafs have returned rookie forward Nazem Kadri to the Marlies.
The 20-year-old first round pick was not on the ice for practice Wednesday morning and has been a healthy scratch in two of the past three games.
The Leafs had plans to keep Kadri on board at the NHL level to work on his overall game and physical strength.
But it now appears Kadri ? who did not score in 17 games with the Leafs this season ? will be assigned to the Marlies to work on those things.
Kadri will be with the Marlies for Wednesday's game against Chicago at the Ricoh Coliseum. But he may not be able to play.
Kadri was assessed a three game suspension by the AHL for unsportsmanlike conduct just prior to his call-up to the Leafs. He served one game, but has two remaining.
