Regarding an event that occurred last spring that caused him to leave the Colorado Avalanche midway through their first-round series against the Seattle Kraken, Valeri Nichushkin has spoken out.
Nichushkin was absent from Game 3 of the series after participating in the Avalanche’s first two games; Avs coach Jared Bednar explained his absence as a maintenance day. Colorado later disclosed that Nichushkin had departed the team for “personal reasons.”
