“I don’t know if Nichushkin will be able to join our team in the future,” Bednar is quoted in the Denver Post.
- The reason for Nichushkin’s long disqualification from the NHL became known
Last night it became known that Valery Nichushkin was transferred to the third stage of the NHL player assistance program, which is why he will now miss at least six months. Note that the 29-year-old Russian is ending his participation in the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive year earlier than expected, and not for sporting reasons.
Valery Nichushkin has scored 10 (9+1) points in eight games in the current NHL playoffs, sharing the lead in the sniper race with Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman.
