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.Daly said Nichushkin is available to play.
The team has declined to comment for more than a month about the incident, claiming Nichushkin has been absent from the team for personal reasons.
