Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin: Finds twine on power play

Nichushkin scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

Nichushkin has scored a goal in each of the Avalanche's first three playoff contests this year, and he's added 11 shots on net, seven hits and a minus-1 rating. Dating back to the regular season, the winger has five goals and an assist during a five-game point streak. He was on the top line Friday and should remain productive in that role if he stays there, though Zach Parise has also gotten looks in that spot.
