“Nichushkin had to go through a lot of difficulties at the beginning of his career, but today he made a name for himself. This season was his finest hour, after which he will be known everywhere. He was excellent in both halves , and this time scored 67 points. His place should be among the strongest players in the top 6 for the next five years, and he could well be in the hunt for a contract worth about $6 million.

In the current playoffs, the striker has 15 (9+6) points in 19 matches.
