The Colorado Avalanche are facing criticism for their silence regarding the mysterious absence of forward Valeri Nichushkin, who was linked to a 9-1-1 call made by a team doctor on behalf of an intoxicated woman found in his hotel room. Despite the release of a police report, the Avalanche have refused to comment on whether Nichushkin broke team rules or took leave by his own choice.
