Valeri Nichushkin is not under investigation by the NHL regarding an April incident at the Avalanche team hotel in Seattle that prompted a police response, league deputy commissioner Bill Daly told reporters Saturday in Las Vegas before Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.
During Colorado’s first-round playoff series against the Kraken, a woman was found in Nichushkin’s hotel room who was so intoxicated that a team doctor called for an ambulance to take her to a hospital, according to a Seattle Police Department report.
Nichushkin left Seattle the day of the incident and did not play that night in Game 3 or the remainder of the series, which the Avalanche lost in seven games.
