Valeri Nichushkin Sits Out Tuesday's Contest
2 years agoColorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin won't take the ice Tuesday against Arizona due to a lower-body injury. He was hurt last Friday in a game against Nashville and it's currently unclear when Colorado expects to get Nichushkin back to the lineup. The Russian winger has already missed a large chunk of the season, skating in only 15 of the team's 32 games. He's been doing great whilst healthy, notching seven goals and nine assists. The Avalanche have called up Charles Hudon from the minors and he will be a candidate to replace Nichushkin on the second line.
