Tom Szczerbowski / USA Today
TORONTO - Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri missed a team meeting and was sent home before practice, interim coach Peter Horachek said.
Kadri was not on the ice for Sunday's practice, the morning after a 6-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues.
Horachek said Kadri was available to play Monday night against the New York Islanders, before adding — "If I want him."
Kadri did show up to the team's practice facility but not on time, Horachek said.
Asked the reason why Kadri missed the meeting, Horachek replied: "Not prepared. It wasn't the snow."
Trevor Smith took Kadri's spot in line rushes between Leo Komarov and Richard Panik.
