While it hasn't been officially ruled out yet, I'd be shocked if we see him at any point the rest of the playoffs. Oilers forward, Evander Kane, crosschecked Avalanche center, Nazem Kadri into the boards. We likely won't see him playing again until next year.

“Val is a huge part of our team and our offensive game and our checking game and helps out in all areas of the game,” Landeskog said. It comes from everybody in the room — just a little bit more. Nichushkin scored on two fortunate deflections to give Colorado the lead. The Avalanche won titles in 1996 and 2001. In Game 3, he made the big stop on McDavid to keep it tied before Compher scored. “Frankie’s quick and got over there and made a great stop on it,” Colorado forward Nathan MacKinnon said.

Valeri Nichushkin scored a pair of goals and Colorado outlasted Edmonton 4-2 to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.

In the first period alone, he broke up what looked like a golden scoring chance between Connor McDavid and Evander Kane, and he had a crucial blocked shot late in the period on a two-on-one. It was his second multi-assist game of the series, as he also had two assists in Game 1. The Avalanche needed some depth scoring to step up after Nazem Kadri was knocked out of the game after a nasty check from behind by Edmonton’s Evander Kane early in the first. Nichushkin’s second goal gave Colorado the lead early in the second, as he whipped in a shot from the slot. J.T. Compher had a brutal start to the postseason, but he’s one of the hottest players going right now. The Avs moved to 6-0 on the road in the postseason, downing the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Saturday in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final.

Colorado failed to capitalize in 11:27 of man-advantage time against Edmonton in Game 3 on Saturday night (officially 0-for-5). It couldn’t convert on a five-minute major to the Oilers’ Evander Kane and an ensuing minor on Darnell Nurse. The Avs had seven minutes of PP time before the Oilers had a second. Winger Gabe Landeskog and defenseman Cale Makar were the only Avs to have more than one missed shot. They were just 1-of-7 with the man-advantage in Game 2 and now 2-for-14 in the series (14.3%).

I was just trying to get up on him, that’s really all I did,” he said. “It could have been a way worse outcome for Naz,” he said. “Just a dangerous play and I hope the league will make the right decision, which everybody probably knows what it should be.” “The hit — it’s the most dangerous play in hockey. To me, we’ve seen that play, that type of hockey play occur during the playoffs and it’s unfortunate someone got hurt,” he said. The Avs, who take a commanding 3-0 lead in the seven-game series into Monday’s Game 4, are calling it an “upper-body” injury.
