CALGARY, Alberta -- Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri is ready to move on after finishing a three-game club ban for disciplinary reasons.
Kadri accompanied the Maple Leafs on Friday to Calgary, where he sat out a third consecutive game since he missed a team meeting Sunday. He said before Friday night's 6-3 loss to the Flames that he was "humiliated" but added that he has learned from the ordeal.
"Of course I'm embarrassed about it," the 24-year-old center said. "Lesson learned, and that's how I'm going to approach it. I'm a little bit humiliated, but besides that it was a lesson learned and something you can look to as making yourself a better person.
"It's a lesson that couldn't be more clear at this point in time."
Kadri was in the lineup Saturday, playing 18 minutes and registering two shots in a 4-1 loss to the Canucks.
The Maple Leafs made Kadri a healthy scratch Monday for their game against the New York Islanders. On that day, he said he had apologized to teammates and coaches for what he called an "uncharacteristic" mistake.
But on Wednesday, Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan extended the suspension for two games, saying that Kadri's problems went beyond being late for the meeting Sunday.
"It's time for him to start making better decisions," Shanahan said Wednesday.
Kadri has no "ill feelings" toward the Maple Leafs.
"I put the blame on myself and understand I have to bring out a better level of expectation in terms of professionalism," he said. "But other than that, all I can worry about right now is the future moving forward."
