Nazem Kadri sure isn't making any friends this week.
Nazem Kadri cross-checks Red Wing player in the back of the head
Not a great week for the Maple Leafs’ forward.

Days after getting caught lying about the $5,000 in NHL fines levied at him for diving this year, the Toronto Maple Leafs center got caught making another bad decision on the ice on Saturday.
Kadri got tangled up with Detroit Red Wings forward Luke Glendening in the corner, and Kadri apparently took exception to a late shove thrown in the scrum. So he skated after Glendening and cross-checked him in the back of the head:

Glendening was slow to get up but eventually did. Kadri was assessed a two-minute minor penalty for cross-checking. Red Wings forward Darren Helm went after Kadri later in the frame with a big hit. Justice has been dispensed, and now everyone can get on with the game.
