Colorado beat Edmonton 4-2 in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals on Saturday, Nichushkin doubled. The Russian scored his first goal in the 17th minute of the first period – the puck flew into the Oilers goal after bouncing off host defenseman Darnell Nurse’s stick. In the 5th minute of the second period, the Russian put the guests in front, thanks to the transfer of Jonathan Teyvza.
– In the episode with the first goal, I tried to pass, and in the second case, I just moved towards the goal, I was lucky with the rebound. Before the game, we talked about Smith not moving very well, so I tried to throw as quickly as possible, Nichushkin said, as quoted by the NHL website.
The series score became 3-0 in favor of Colorado, Game 4 is Monday in Edmonton.
