Already with a goal to his name, Nichushkin delivered a legitimate goal-of-the-year candidate just 1:40 into the second period — going between the legs on a shorthanded partial breakaway to fool Joel Hofer and extend the Avalanche lead to 3-0. It was Colorado's second shorthanded goal of the season and their first since November, and it came on a shot Nichushkin had attempted unsuccessfully multiple times before it finally went in.
