Nichushkin scored a shorthanded, empty-net goal on three shots and added a pair of assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild. - Nichushkin has already been a big factor with the man advantage this year. He has four goals and two assists in three contests, and just one of those six points has come at even strength. His empty-netter was a shorthanded tally, the fifth of his career.

Nichushkin scored two power-play goals on five shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. - Nichushkin used his 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame to carve out space in front on the man advantage. With the likes of Cale Makar and Mikko Rantanen setting him up, Nichushkin's net-front presence helped him score two of the four goals racked up by Colorado's No. 1 power-play unit. Only five of Nichushkin's career-high 25 goals last season came on the power play, so Nichushkin has a clear path to even more production in the short term, though Gabriel Landeskog's eventual return from a lower-body injury will likely knock either Nichushkin or Arturri Lehkonen -- who scored Colorado's other two power-play goals Wednesday -- off the top man-advantage unit. |

The winger is up to nine goals and 15 points in 19 playoff outings, including multiple points in four of his last seven games, so his absence would be a big one if he's forced to miss time.

Nichushkin was designated for the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday. - Nichushkin has averaged 18:27 of ice time -- 2:19 during the man advantage -- and recorded 17 points over 22 appearances this season. He recently missed four games in January while recovering from an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old will miss Monday's contest against the Wild at a minimum. J.T. Compher is likely to see an expanded role in Nichushkin's absence. |

Nichushkin had an assist, one shot on net and two hits over 22:08 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Nashville. - Nichushkin picked up the primary helper on Cale Makar's game-tying goal in the third period -- another highlight reel tally by the defenseman -- that sent the game into overtime. Big Val filled in for Gabriel Landeskog (COVID-19 protocols) on the top line and picked up his first point since returning earlier this week from a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury. There's a possibility Landeskog misses Friday's game, which would create another opportunity for Nichushkin to skate with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. Nichushkin has 10 goals, seven assists and 50 shots through 20 games. |

Compher may be asked to skate on the first line Tuesday against Nashville and possibly Friday against Arizona. |

Nichushkin (illness) will be in the lineup versus Toronto on Wednesday, Aarif Deen of Mile High Sports reports. - Nichushkin has been unstoppable since returning from his upper-body injury, as he has garnered five goals, two assists and 14 shots in his last eight contests.

Nichushkin scored a goal on three shots and levied four hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Predators. - Nichushkin gave the Avalanche some extra breathing room in the third period. He's on a roll lately with four goals in his last five games. The Russian winger is up to five tallies, three helpers, 20 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-9 rating in nine contests overall. He's often been a third-liner in his time with the Avalanche, but he's played well enough to earn a second-line job this season. |

Nichushkin (upper body) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and skate at left wing on the second line for Thursday's game against Vancouver, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports. - Nichushkin will be making his return after missing nine games. The 26-year-old Russian had an assist on Opening Night, before settling in on injured reserve, and will get an opportunity to stick as a top-six forward.

If the 26-year-old winger does get into the lineup versus Vancouver, he figures to be in the mix for a top-six role where he could get back over the 30-point mark for the first time since his rookie campaign back in 2013-14 when he was with Dallas. |
