Recall that the forward was removed from the team before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup first-round series away against Seattle. The reason was the incident with a drunk girl that happened in the hotel lobby.
However, further investigation showed that Nichushkin was not involved in the incident.
This season, the 28-year-old Russian hockey player played 53 games with the Avalanche in the NHL regular season and scored 47 (17 + 30) points. In the playoffs, he has 2 games and a goal.
