Flynn’s Take: What Will Lineup Look Like When Nichushkin Returns (+)

Valeri Nichushkin is getting close to returning, but head coach Jared Bednar could not give a specific game date. On Sunday, he practiced with the team in a regular jersey for the first time but left before the session ended.
“Getting close, but that’s the next step of skating on your own. You got to get into team practices, but he didn’t make it through the practice. So not great, but hopefully still getting close, we’ll see,” Bednar said after Sunday’s practice.
