Nazem Kadri suffered a wrist injury in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals. It looked like he was done for as he was later seen with a cast. Kadri later had surgery on his thumb and was expected to miss the rest of the playoffs. However, he came back for game 4 of the Stanley Cup final against the Tampa Bay Lightning and ended up scoring the overtime winner in that game. But his return to the lineup was never supposed to happen.
