Registers helper in Game 7 loss
Nichushkin notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 7.
ANALYSIS
Nichushkin helped out on a Nathan MacKinnon tally early in the third period. Over seven playoff contests, Nichushkin had three goals, one assist, 13 shots on net, 20 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The 30-year-old winger put up 34 points in 43 regular-season outings in 2024-25. Between injuries and suspensions, he hasn't played in more than 65 games in any of the last seven years, but when healthy, he's an excellent complementary forward who figures to be part of Colorado's core for the better part of the rest of the decade.

Nichushkin generated career highs in 2023-24 with 28 goals and 53 points despite being limited to 54 appearances. He missed 22 games from mid-January to early March after entering into the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. Before Game 4 of Colorado's second-round playoff series versus Dallas, Nichushkin was placed in Stage 3 of the program for a violation of the treatment plan and suspended for at least six months. He won't be eligible to apply for reinstatement until November, however, it's unclear when Nichushkin will be available for his season debut. As such, he probably won't be drafted in the majority of fantasy leagues. Still, he could be a worthwhile gamble to select late in drafts because of his offensive abilities and the team's offensive upside. Overall, Nichushkin is a high-risk, high-reward option for 2024-25 and will probably start the season on multiple reserve lists.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Closing in on return to game action
Nichushkin, who is on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, might suit up for Wednesday's home game against the Devils, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Nichushkin has been out of the lineup since Jan. 2 -- he's missed 21 consecutive games. Once he's ready to suit up, the 29-year-old will be a welcomed addition for a club that's netted just two goals over its last two games. Health permitting, Nichushkin will be a fixture in the top six going forward, and he'll certainly work with one of the power-play units. Prior to sustaining his injury, the Russian winger had compiled 11 goals, 17 points and a plus-6 rating over 21 appearances.
