Toronto forward Nazem Kadri will be held out of the Maple Leafs’ next two games.

Team president Brendan Shanahan says the team is cracking down on issues with the 24-year-old centre.

Kadri missed a team meeting Sunday and was made a healthy scratch for Monday’s game as a result.

Shanahan says that after consulting with general manager Dave Nonis and the coaches, the organization wants to make a bigger point by keeping Kadri out for tonight’s game against Buffalo and Friday’s game in Calgary.

He adds that if things go well, Kadri will be available to play Saturday for the Leafs in Vancouver.

Shanahan says it’s time for Kadri to start making better decisions, but he did not provide further details.
