Nichushkin registered three assists, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Tue, Jan 20, 2026 at 2:01 PM

Nichushkin (upper body) is expected to suit up at home versus the Ducks on Wednesday, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

Scouting Report

The Russian forward has settled into a middle-six winger role after returning from two seasons in the KHL, where he learned how to make better use of his size and skills (after struggling with inconsistency and injuries in his first NHL hitch). He is a powerful skater with skill and scoring ability, and has improved his play away from the puck--making him a much more useful player.

Long Range Potential: Big, versatile two-way winger.
