Nazem Kadri Returns to Avalanche Lineup in Win Over Wild

Nazem Kadri made his return to the Colorado Avalanche lineup against the Minnesota Wild, receiving a standing ovation in his first game back. Kadri contributed an assist on Nathan MacKinnon's second-period goal and played a key role in the team's depth as they look toward the postseason. His re-acquisition from the Calgary Flames is viewed as a major boost for the Central Division leaders as they aim to secure the top playoff seed.
