Kadri has been the subject of racist messages on social media since colliding with Blues goalkeeper Jordan Binnington, who was sidelined for the rest of the series following the incident.

Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly explained to the news agency Associated Press that the league and police are looking into the situation.

The team said Sunday night that they were aware of the threats against Kadri and they were working with local law enforcement to investigate.

Kadri clashed with Binnington in Game 3 of the second-round series on Saturday night. He mentioned that a Blues player threw him a water bottle in a postgame interview.

The press agency Associated Press verified the existence of Twitter messages sent to the official Avalanche account and Kadri’s account calling him a miserable Arab and refers to terrorism.

Other messages, some of which have been deleted, included death threats. One, however, was still online a few hours before Game 4 at St. Louis. Louis. Avalanche led the series to 2-1.

It is unclear if the social media posts are being investigated by the league, team or police, or if other threats have been made against Kadri, who is of Lebanese descent.

We take seriously the threats made to either our players or other club staff.said Daly.

We are in contact with St. Louis Police Department, aniya. It applies enhanced security measures to the amphitheater and the hotel.

Former NHL player Akim Aliu said via text message that he always talks to Kadri. All we can do is support him morally.

Nazem has been the subject of so many racist attacks and threats since last night that the police had to intervene.written by Aliu.

Racist attacks like this have no place in hockey, he said, and should be investigated and reported.

Active members to promote diversity

Akim Aliu and Nazem Kadri are members of the Alliance for Diversity in Hockey, which works to eradicate systemic racism and intolerance in hockey.

The Alliance helps make the sport more accessible to minorities and poor youth.

The NHL has some security measures in place, with additional services provided by the home team that continues to interact with league security.

This department acts in situations like this, and can cooperate with law enforcement as needed.

The league, with input from the NHL Players Association, has established a confidential hotline for players to report harassment, discrimination or other serious misconduct.

There is the option to make reports by phone, email or online anonymously or anonymously.
