Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin: Finds twine Sunday

Nichushkin scored a goal, put two shots on net and dished out two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia.

Nichushkin tallied his goal just under two minutes into the second period, and it would ultimately stand as Sunday's game-winner. The 30-year-old winger is up to seven goals, 14 points and 50 shots on goal through 21 games this season. He has two goals in his last four games since returning from a lower-body injury. If he can stay healthy, Nichushkin will remain a solid option in most fantasy formats while skating within Colorado's top nine and seeing power-play time. He's averaging a hit per game this season to complement his point production.
