Keeler: Avalanche gave Valeri Nichushkin a second chance.
SAN DIEGO — The Rockies walked the high-wire Monday night at Petco Park.

The Dallas Stars took full advantage of an Avalanche team missing both Valeri Nichushkin and Devon Toews, and cruised to a dominant 5-1 victory in Game 4 to take full control of this second-round series and put this once-promising Colorado hockey season on the brink.
Dallas will have the first of three chances to knock Colorado out of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs on Wednesday night in Game 5 at American Airlines Center.
“We looked frozen in the first period.
Valeri Nichushkin is done for the rest of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The news came roughly an hour before the Avs were set to play the Dallas Stars on Monday night at Ball Arena in Game 4 of their second-round Stanley Cup Playoff series.
