Athletistic/Hockey. Russian “Colorado Avalanche” forward Valery Nichushkin has begun to recover from a broken leg received in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Recall that the Russian was forced to play the decisive match of the final series with “Tampa” with a broken foot.

Nichushkin posted a photo with crutches on one of the social networks and signed “First training”.

Colorado’s win brought the team their first Stanley Cup since 2001. Nichushkin himself scored four goals in the Finals, which is a repeat club record.

This summer, the Russian striker signed a new eight-year contract with the club.
