Nichushkin set to play against Ducks after car accident
There is some good news following a worrying incident a few days ago. Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar has confirmed that forward Valeri Nichushkin will be back in action on Wednesday night as the Avalanche take on the Anaheim Ducks at home. Bednar mentioned that Nichushkin will be returning to the lineup during a media interview. This update comes after Nichushkin was unexpectedly scratched from Monday's game against the Washington Capitals due to being involved in a car accident on his way to the arena, resulting in minor injuries. It's a relief to see Nichushkin back after a brief absence, especially considering his history of injuries and off-ice challenges since returning to the NHL in 2018. In the current season, Nichushkin has recorded 11 goals and 16 assists in 38 games, ranking sixth in team scoring. The Avalanche, who sit at the top of the league with a record of 34-5-8, will be looking to build on their recent win against the Capitals after suffering two losses to the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Nashville Predators.
