It was a busy day Sunday when the Toronto Maple Leafs convened for practice a day after a 6-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues at Air Canada Centre.
Forward Nazem Kadri missed practice after being sent home by interim coach Peter Horachek for being late, according to various reports. Kadri showed up at the Maple Leafs' training facility, but not on time. Horachek told him to leave for being late and not prepared for the practice.
"He missed a meeting, so I sent him home," Horachek said, according to the Toronto Sun. "He showed up, but not when I was doing it."
Horachek also said that he has not decided if Kadri will play Monday against the New York Islanders.
"He is available ... if I want him," Horachek said.
Horachek also said that defenseman Stephane Robidas is done for the season, according to the Sun. He will have surgery on his left shoulder, perhaps as early as Wednesday.
"We decided it would be better for him to have the surgery since it is a long recovery in order for him to be available for training camp next year," Horachek said. "We felt it would be better for him to get it done. He has some tears in his labrum and his rotator cuff. We don't want this to be a recurring thing."
Robidas, 38, played 51 games for the Maple Leafs this season, scoring a goal and adding six assists in his first season in Toronto after signing a three-year contract as a free agent on July 1.
