It seems Nazem Kadri is always going to be front and centre with the Maple Leafs, one way or another. But he was also in the middle of what might have been the most dominating performance by a Leafs line this season. Kadri and wingers Mitch Marner and Patrick Marleau combined for 10 points while posting ridiculous numbers in terms of possession, shots and shot attempts. That would be similar to the Bruins’ trio of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak, one of the top-two way lines in the NHL. Just as important, the Kadri line now will make it doubly tough for opposing coaches to focus their attention on the Auston Matthews line.
