Nichushkin scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Ducks. Nichushkin has scored in three straight games. The 29-year-old winger's strong play has allowed head coach Jared Bednar to spread out the Avalanche's top talent across two lines. Nichushkin has 10 goals, five assists, 42 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-2 rating through 18 appearances. He's typically been a strong fantasy option when available over the last three seasons, and that's especially true when he's on the top line as he is now.

Nichushkin scored a power-play goal on five shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks. Nichushkin has scored in back-to-back contests for the third time this season. The 29-year-old opened the scoring at 3:40 of the first period. He's up to nine goals (two on the power play), four assists, 39 shots on net, 14 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 17 appearances. Nichushkin was on the top line Thursday after playing the bulk of his time on the second line, though any spot in the Avalanche's top six should be enough for him to stay productive.

Nichushkin scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks. Nichushkin recently went on a four-game point streak from Dec. 5-10, notching four goals and one assist in that span, and he found twine again Monday to score Colorado's lone goal of the contest. The Russian winger is up to eight goals and 12 points across 16 outings this season. He should continue to find ample opportunities to produce due to his role on the top six and first power-play unit.

Nichushkin scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Penguins. Nichushkin has four goals and one assist during his four-game point streak. For the season, the winger has seven tallies, 11 points, 26 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances. Nichushkin has fit right in on the second line, and he should be on most fantasy rosters as long as he's scoring at such an impressive rate.

Nichushkin had an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Devils. Nichushkin has three goals and an assist over his last three games.
