ST. LOUIS — Local police launched a criminal investigation into threats against the Colorado Avalanche's Nazem Kadri over the weekend but refused Monday to provide details about the incident.
The Blues also declined to comment on the matter. Players for St. Louis and Colorado said before Monday's game at the Enterprise Center that the threats were "unfortunate" and "sad."
Kadri drew the ire of St. Louis fans Saturday after he collided with Blues goalie Jordan Binnington less than seven minutes into Colorado's 5-2 victory. Binnington left the game with a lower-body injury and did not return. The Blues said he would be out for the remainder of the series.
