After two years, Valeri Nichushkin is finally lacing up his skates for the Dallas Stars once again. Although the NHL is nothing new to the former 10th overall draft pick, it’ll still take time to readjust after time in the KHL.
Thankfully, Nichuskin already has a mentor of some sorts, in the form of veteran and fellow Russian Alexander Radulov.
So when Nichushkin needs a quick translation from Russian to English, he asks Radulov for help. And when Radulov wants a quick video clip to post on Instagram, he gravitates toward Nichushkin.
