Colorado Avalanche forward Valeri Nichushkin averted questions concerning his sudden absence from a playoff series last season for what the team explained was personal reasons.
When approached in the ambulance by officers, the woman stated she was from Russia but born in Ukraine. She was transported to Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, according to the report.
The 28-year-old Nichushkin said “we both decided” for him to be away from the team for the remainder of the playoff series against the Kraken in which the Avalanche lost in seven games. Only two Colorado players scored more playoff goals than Nichushkin’s nine during the 2022 Stanley Cup title run, when he had 15 points in 20 games. He had 47 points in 53 games last season and scored a goal early in the first round before leaving the team.
