Nichushkin (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Nichushkin recently underwent ankle surgery and was given a one-month timeline to return, so this is a move to free up a roster spot. If the Avalanche need additional cap space, he could be later transferred to long-term injured reserve.
