The Colorado Avalanche defeated the Anaheim Ducks by a score of 4-1 on Tuesday night. It was a fun game to witness, but as you know, injuries happen. Unfortunately, Valeri Nichushkin is now on the injury report after playing just 12:57 of ice time in the matchup.

We don’t know the exact nature of the injury, but head coach Jared Bednar, on his weekly appearance on the radio Wednesday, said it was a lower-body injury to the star forward.
