Colorado Avalanche striker Nazem Kadri took part in the team’s morning skating Wednesday before Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Head coach Jared Bednar says Kadri “is getting better every day,” but will not confirm whether he will play or not. However, Darren Dreger, TSN Hockey Insider, tweeted that there is a high probability that Kadri will play Game 4.

Kadri has not played since the 3rd Western Conference Finals game against the Edmonton Oilers when he injured his thumb after being checked on the back boards by Evander Kane.
The 31-year-old has six goals and eight assists in 13 games this postseason.
Avalanche lead the series 2-1 after losing 6-2 in Monday’s third game.
