Nazem Kadri Sent to the Box for Hitting Jets' Gustafsson from Behind

Nazem Kadri earned a boarding penalty on Tuesday night when he threw a hit on Winnipeg Jets forward David Gustafsson. In Kadri's defense, Gustafsson turned at the last second.

But Kadri's reputation precedes him, unfortunately, and referees give him minimal leeway. Having been fined/suspended several times in his career, the first-year Flames' center needs to tighten up, but then again edginess is one of Kadri's greatest strengths.
