The commissioner has determined what to do with the Avs forward after the footage of the incident was released publicly.

During the first round of the NHL playoffs, Valeri Nichushkin left in the middle of the series after an intoxicated woman was found in his hotel room.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has seen the footage and has made a decision on Nichushkin's NHL future.

With Nichushkin being eligible to play, the Avalanche will utilize his services next year and hope for him to take another step in the absence of Gabriel Landeskog.
