Valeri Nichushkin Collects Two Points Thursday Night
3 years agoColorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin had a goal and an assist as the team beat Montreal on Thursday 4-1. He led all skaters with five shots and opened the scoring with a short-handed goal. Nichushkin is now averaging exactly a point per game through 11 outings with a plus-eight rating. He's scored in six of 10 outings since returning from an upper-body injury. Colorado completes the week against a leaky Ottawa defense, so Nichushkin has a great chance to stay hot on Saturday.
