Avalanche's Nikita Prishchepov: Headed back to minors
Rotowire
Prishchepov was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.
Prishchepov has played in the Avs' last six contests, generating four shots, nine hits and one block while averaging 7:18 of ice time. Unfortunately for the 20-year-old winger, the team is about to get some reinforcements from the infirmary, as Jonathan Drouin (upper body) and Miles Wood (upper body) are set to return along with Valeri Nichushkin (suspension). As such, Prishchepov figures to stay in the minors for a while this time around.
