The Colorado Avalanche expect to see forward Valeri Nichushkin at his next training camp in September, despite his rushed departure in the recent playoffs.
This was reported by the Denver Gazette on Sunday, citing a spokesman for the organization. The 28-year-old Russian appears to have gotten away with it, especially since the National Hockey League indicated earlier this month that no investigation had been opened against him.
Nichushkin missed the last five matches of the first-round series against the Seattle Kraken, which his team lost. Earlier, in this northwestern US city, police were called to his hotel room and found that a heavily intoxicated woman had been spending time in it; However, when they arrived, the lady was already in the ambulance that took her to the hospital.
The “Avs” player had 47 points in 53 games during the regular season.
