The Avalanche insist Nichushkin is fine after missing 11 of 16 games due to ankle and upper-body injuries, but Rawal believes he's not operating at 100 percent. Rawal cites diminished burst and not skating at a level the forward showed early in the season. In total, Nichushkin has missed 28 of 52 contests, including a lower-body injury that cost him time from late October to early December....

Lehkonen came into Tuesday with a five-game point drought. That slump came to a close just 50 seconds into the game as he converted on a feed from Nathan MacKinnon. Lehkonen maintained his place on the top line even during the dry spell -- his strong two-way play makes him a great fit in that role. The winger is up to 16 goals, 35 points, 116 shots on net, 68 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 49 outings this season....
See Less Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Takes shootout loss Georgiev allowed three goals on 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Lightning.

Georgiev is now at 21-12-4 with a 2. 68 GAA and a. 918 save percentage through 37 contests.

Getting a player back would be good for the Avalanche's defense, which has been tested by injuries lately. Manson hasn't played since Dec. 1, but he'd likely be able to fill a bottom-four role.
