The tying goal in the third period was Kadri's season in a nutshell - uses his body to separate the Ranger from the puck (instead of the bigger open ice hits he would make as a rookie), wins the puck, carries it behind the net to shake any Rangers, carries it from there right into the Rangers' zone (no flash, no dazzle, just finding open ice and playing safe and smart), wins a puck battle in the corner, takes it behind the net, finds the point man for a shot. If Polak doesn't score, no one even notices what Kadri did on the play. But it's no accident that he spends so much time in the offensive zone, and as some of us have been saying, the points will come.
Really glad that he's maturing and working on becoming a complete player this year - the reward will be next year when he's developed his defensive game enough that we can put Nylander on his left side, and there will be no shortage of offense then.
