Valeri Nichushkin To Miss Friday's Game
6 years agoDallas Stars winger Valeri Nichushkin will miss his second consecutive game on Friday against the Minnesota Wild. The 23-year-old has been unable to play due to soreness likely related to the lower-body injury that kept him out of action for the Stars' first two games of the season. Nichushkin was seen as a sleeper pick in fantasy drafts but doesn't seem like anything more than a streamer unless he can earn ice time on the team's top line with Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn. He has one assist and eight shots on goal while skating just 11:09 in his only three games of the season.
