The head coach “Colorado Avalanche » Jared Bednar congratulated the Russian striker Valeria Nichushkina for his performance in the NHL playoffs.
On Sunday, Colorado defeated the Winnipeg Jets in Game 4 of their Stanley Cup first-round series, 5-1. Nichushkin scored the first hat-trick of his career in the championship.
— Nichushkin does an excellent job, it’s true. So he is number one. You want guys to be in a good place mentally and take care of themselves, and he does that. To be honest, he played very well even though he wasn’t in a good mental state.
You want guys to feel good and relaxed outside the rink so they have fun when they come to work and are more productive. And Nichushkin certainly does,” Bednar said, as quoted by the Denver Gazette.
The score in the best-of-four series is 3-1 in favor of Colorado. In the current Stanley Cup, 29-year-old Nichushkin scored six points (6+0).
