  • Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin: Ruled out against Rangers

    Nichushkin (lower body) will not play in Thursday's matchup with the Rangers, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports. Nichushkin has played in just eight games since returning from the Player Assistance Program. In those eight outings, the 29-year-old winger has notched four goals and four assists, including four power-play points. Zach Parise should be a candidate for Nichushkin's second-line role against New York.

  • Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin: Questionable for Thursday

    Nichushkin is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rangers because of a lower-body injury, per Aarif Deen of Mile High Sports. Nichushkin has 26 goals and 50 points in 48 outings in 2023-24. His injury is not expected to keep him out long term, but if he does miss Thursday's tilt, then Zach Parise might slide into a top-six role.

  • Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin: Rolling since return

    Nichushkin logged a power-play and even-strength assist, one shot on net, two blocks and two penalty minutes in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blues. Nichushkin continued his roll since returning from a personal leave of absence. The winger has points in four of five games following his reinstatement, including three goals and four assists, helping extend Colorado's winning streak to seven games. He's skating on the top line and is a staple of the top power-play unit, which puts Nichushkin in position to establish a new career high in points. The 29-year-old, who has 49 points, needs four more over the final 13 contests to set a new personal benchmark.

  • Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin: Triumphant return to lineup

    Nichushkin scored the overtime winner in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Wild. Back in the lineup for the first time since Jan. 10, Nichushkin parked himself in front of the net on an Avs power play in OT, calmly settled down a bouncing puck and tucked it inside the post past Filip Gustavsson. Nichushkin missed 22 games after entering the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. While he did get eased back into action to some extent -- his 17:48 TOI was his lowest since early November -- the fact that he was on the ice for an overtime power play speaks volumes about his importance to the Avalanche. Through 41 contests on the season, the 29-year-old winger has 23 goals and 43 points.
