Valeri Nichushkin, Trent Miner Help Rally Avalanche
Valeri Nichushkin's performance Thursday night was described as "C'est magnifique."
The Avalanche debuted the Quebec Nordiques throwbacks, but struggled with turnovers and defense early on, and power-play struggles throughout. However, Nichushkin came through late to steal a point in a 5-4 shootout loss against the Carolina Hurricanes at Ball Arena.
Nichushkin's second goal of the night, on the club's seventh power-play opportunity, helped Colorado claw back from a 4-1 deficit at 14:09 of the third period.
"I thought he was having a great game, maybe his best of the year,"
said Avs coach Jared Bednar, explaining why Nichushkin was promoted to the top power-play unit before scoring the game-tying goal.
