Date News Advice
Nov. 10, 2025 Gushchin was demoted to the minors Monday. - Gushchin served as a healthy scratch for the Avalanche's last two games and will now return to the Eagles. The decision to return the winger to the minors could be an indication that Logan O'Connor (hip) will be ready to suit up versus the Ducks on Tuesday. None
Nov. 8, 2025 Gushchin was called up from AHL Colorado on Saturday. - Gushchin was recalled as the Avalanche are down to 11 healthy forwards with Gavin Brindley (concussion) day-to-day at this time. Gushchin was off to a great start in the AHL, tallying nine goals and a pair of assists in 11 appearances. He should see fourth-line action with Zakhar Bardakov and Parker Kelly, if Brindley is unable to play in Edmonton on Saturday. None
Oct. 26, 2025 Gushchin has been re-assigned to AHL Colorado by the Avalanche, the team announced Sunday. - Gushchin was just up as depth in his brief NHL stay this time around, and he is still seeking his first NHL game since coming over via trade from the Sharks. He will head back to the AHL, where he's off to a blazing goal-scoring start; the 23-year-old has six goals in five appearances. None
Oct. 24, 2025 Gushchin was called up from AHL Colorado on Friday. - Gushchin had six goals and an assist in five games with AHL Colorado before his recall. The 23-year-old winger could see action this weekend as Colorado plays in Boston and New Jersey. None
Oct. 19, 2025 Gushchin scored two goals on six shots in AHL Colorado's 3-1 win over Coachella Valley on Saturday. - Gushchin has four goals over three AHL games with his new team. He's topped 50 points in each of the last two AHL campaigns while also drawing some action with the Sharks. The Avalanche have a tougher roster to crack, but the 23-year-old Gushchin is among the younger options who could get a look should the big club need a forward. None
Oct. 10, 2025 Gushchin scored twice on six shots in AHL Colorado's 7-4 win over Calgary on Friday. - Gushchin's Eagles debut was a success. The 23-year-old will look to make a good impression with the minor-league team, which could earn him a call-up to the Avalanche at some point in 2025-26. Over small stints in the NHL with the Sharks across the last three years, he's produced a decent five points in 18 appearances. None
Oct. 1, 2025 Gushchin was waived by Colorado on Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports. - Gushchin had 28 goals and 51 points in 56 regular-season appearances with AHL San Jose in 2024-25. He's part of Colorado's organization after being acquired from the Sharks over the summer in exchange for Oskar Olausson. Gushchin is likely to clear waivers and report to AHL Colorado, but he might get a chance with the Avalanche if they run into significant injury issues. None
July 25, 2025 Gushchin was acquired by Colorado from San Jose on Friday in exchange for Oskar Olausson. - Gushchin had 28 goals, 51 points and 34 PIM across 56 regular-season outings with AHL San Jose in 2024-25. He also recorded an assist, six PIM and six hits in 12 appearances with the Sharks. The 23-year-old will probably start 2025-26 in the minors. None
April 17, 2025 Gushchin was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Thursday. - Gushchin was called up Monday to provide additional assistance over the Sharks' final few games of the regular season, and he was held without a point while recording a hit and a blocked shot over two appearances during his sting with the NHL club. Now that the Sharks' regular-season schedule has concluded, Gushchin will return to the minors to contribute in the AHL playoffs. None
April 14, 2025 Gushchin was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday. - Gushchin has been in the minors since early November, and he's recorded 27 goals, 21 assists and 32 PIM over 54 appearances with the Barracuda this year. However, he'll rejoin the Sharks to provide additional depth over their final two games of the regular season. None
Nov. 5, 2024 Gushchin was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday, per Max Miller of NHL.com. - Gushchin has an assist, six PIM and 13 shots in 10 appearances with the Sharks in 2024-25. Gushchin and Ethan Cardwell have been sent to the minors to make room for Macklin Celebrini (lower body) and Ty Dellandrea (hand), who were activated off injured reserve. None
Oct. 29, 2024 Gushchin produced an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah. - Gushchin set up a Fabian Zetterlund tally in the second period. The helper was Gushchin's first over seven regular-season appearances, which is a bit disappointing after he erupted for a five-assist game in the preseason. The 22-year-old has added eight shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-3 rating. With Will Smith on a development plan and Ty Dellandrea (upper body) landing on injured reserve, Gushchin should at least receive steady playing time in the short term. None
Oct. 5, 2024 Gushchin distributed five assists while adding three shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 6-5 preseason win over the Golden Knights. - Gushchin had his hands all over the Sharks' frantic third-period comeback effort. After the game, head coach Ryan Warsofsky told reporters that Gushchin had a good camp, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. Gushchin's performance Saturday might be enough to earn the 22-year-old a spot on the Opening Night roster, and he may even begin the year in a top-six role given the Sharks' lack of proven NHL-level talent. None
April 15, 2024 Gushchin scored a goal in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Oilers. - Gushchin has a goal and an assist over three NHL appearances this season. The 22-year-old winger has added five blocked shots and four shots on net. He posted 54 points over 56 contests with AHL San Jose prior to his call-up. Gushchin has been given plenty of time to develop in the AHL, so he should have a chance at an NHL job in training camp in the fall. None
April 14, 2024 Gushchin was called up from AHL San Jose on Sunday. - Gushchin has 20 goals and 54 points in 56 minor-league outings this season. He also has one assist and three shots on goal in two NHL appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. None
Nov. 17, 2023 Gushchin was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Friday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Gushchin's demotion to the minors is expected to be temporary considering the team doesn't play again until Monday's clash with Vancouver. In his two outings this season, the 21-year-old winger notched one assist, three shots and five blocks. If he does get recalled before the trip to Vancouver, Gushchin should be in line for a top-six role and spot on the power play. None
Nov. 14, 2023 Gushchin posted an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers. - Gushchin set up Luke Kunin's go-ahead goal in the third period, though the Sharks failed to hold the lead. This was Gushchin's first NHL contest of the campaign, an achievement he earned after posting 13 points in 11 games with AHL San Jose. The 21-year-old will likely get a chance to audition for a long-term stay with the big club, and he's off to a good start. None
Nov. 13, 2023 Gushchin was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday. - Gushchin has been lighting it up with the Barracuda this season, putting up four goals and nine assists in 11 minor-league games. The 2020 third-round pick has yet to get into an NHL game this season but could be in line to make his 2023-24 debut against the Panthers on Tuesday. None
April 5, 2023 Gushchin was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Wednesday. - Gushchin has found success in his first two NHL games, tallying one goal, one assist and eight shots while averaging 15:55 of ice time. Unless Jeffrey Viel (upper body) or Oskar Lindblom (upper body) is ready to play against the Avalanche on Thursday, Gushchin could be brought back up from the minors and suit up in the contest. None
April 4, 2023 Gushchin posted an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche. - Gushchin has two points, eight shots on net and five blocks through his first two NHL outings. With Tomas Hertl (undisclosed) leaving Tuesday's game, Gushchin may be able to stick around on the big club's roster a bit longer. The third-round pick from 2020 is making a strong impression while seeing top-six minutes in his late-season audition. None
April 1, 2023 Gushchin was promoted from AHL San Jose on Saturday. - The Sharks are dealing with a bunch of injuries up front, so Gushchin could potentially make his NHL debut Saturday versus the Coyotes. The 2020 third-round pick has picked up 16 goals and 36 points through 61 AHL appearances this season. None
April 17, 2022 Gushchin was promoted to AHL San Jose on Sunday. - The 20-year-old shined in the OHL this season, recording 41 goals, 30 assists -- and 50 PIM to boot -- over 51 appearances, so the Sharks decided to give him a chance to show what he can do at the AHL level for the first time. None
