Valeri Nichushkin Leads Avalanche to a Point in Shootout Loss
Valeri Nichushkin's performance was described as "C'est magnifique" in the Avalanche's 5-4 shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Avalanche debuted their Quebec Nordiques throwbacks but struggled with turnovers and defending early on, as well as power-play struggles throughout the game.
Nichushkin scored his second goal of the night on the club's seventh power-play opportunity, helping Colorado come back from a 4-1 deficit at 14:09 of the third period.
"I thought he was having a great game, maybe his best of the year,"

Trent Miner also played a role in the rally, contributing to the team's effort to secure a point in the shootout loss.
