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. |

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. Nichushkin's return comes at an opportune time, as Colorado will be without Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) for about three weeks. |

Nichushkin (upper body) may be an option to play in Thursday's matchup with the Canucks. - Nichushkin has been out of action since Opening Night against the Blackhawks on Oct. 13, in which he registered one assist, three shots and two hits in 15:03 of ice time. 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. |
