The Colorado Avalanche shared an update on Valeri Nichushkin on Saturday, and fans are upset. The team tweeted that Nichushkin had arrived in Denver to start working out and skating alone.
Since 2021-22, the Avalanche are 40-37-5 without Nichushkin in the lineup — compiling just 85 points in those 82 games. With Nichushkin available, they boast a record of 118-35-16. More to come.
