Nazem Kadri has missed the last seven games for the MapleLeafs since sustaining a concussion on Feb. 20.
On Tuesday, Kadri put in a full practice with his teammates and told reporters after that he was feeling good.
"It’s been a bit of a process but I like the progression," he said, describing his status as "day-to-day."The process of getting back to full health hasn’t been easy, Kadri added, noting that he’s been through a few hard skates to get his conditioning back.When Leafs fans will see the veteran back in the lineup remains to be seen, however.
Coach Mike Babcock said Kadri’s eligibility for Wednesday night’s match up against the Canucks will depend on how his body responds to the psychical exertion of Tuesday’s practice. "We’re just going to talk to the trainers ," Babcock said. "What we do after a practice like this, if he’s feeling good, we see how he’s feeling in the morning and then we’ll talk to our medical people and our medical people will tell us what’s going on.""He’s just another big player for us, a big part of this team," Auston Matthews said. "He obviously does a lot in his role. I know what he does for us is great.
