Intoxicated Woman Found in Avalanche Player's Hotel Room Hospitalized by Police
A Seattle Police Department report states that a heavily intoxicated woman was found by a Colorado Avalanche team physician when checking on Valeri Nichushkin before Game 3 of the team's first-round series with Seattle. Nichushkin's agent, Mark Gandler, denied his client's involvement. Nichushkin has been away from the Avalanche since Saturday for "personal reasons." The woman was taken to the hospital, and there is no active police investigation into Nichushkin related to the incident.
