Colorado Avalanche forward Valeri Nichushkin is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Coach Jared Bednar expects Nichushkin to be out for seven to ten days. Meanwhile, Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog skated with the team for the first time since his knee surgery in May.
Coach Jared Bednar said after morning practice Thursday that he would classify Nichushkin as “day-to-day."
When he's on the ice, Nichushkin has been a valuable part of the Avalanche. The team is 209-74-27 with Nichushkin in the lineup. He’s tied for fourth on the Avalanche this season with 11 goals despite playing in just 21 games. The 29-year-old Nichushkin missed the opening 17 games. He made his season debut on Nov. 15 against Washington.“Hopefully it’s short for Val," Manson said. “That’s a big loss. ... He’s a big part of our group.”
