Valeri Nichushkin Will Return When First Eligible
16 seconds agoColorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) will return on November 15th from the NHLPA Player Assistance Program. Nichushkin was suspended for six months and placed into the program in May and will be ready to go when first eligible to return. The 29-year-old will provide a much-needed boost to the heavily depleted Avalanche forward group and should immediately join the top six and first powerplay unit. He had 53 points (28 goals, 25 assists) in 54 games last year in a similar role. He is a must-roster player and is available in almost half of Yahoo leagues.
