Colorado Avalanche forward Valeri Nichushkin was at the center of an incident at the team hotel in Seattle, where police officers responded to a “crisis call” involving an intoxicated woman on April 22, a report obtained by The Denver Gazette said.  

Denver Sports was first to report the incident.

Nichushkin has been away from the team since Game 2 of Colorado’s playoff series against the Seattle Kraken. 

The report stated that police were called for a crisis situation at the Avalanche’s hotel on Saturday at about 3:45 p.m. — hours before the team’s Game 3 contest with the Kraken.

A woman was located by Avalanche physician Bradley Changstrom when he was looking for Nichushkin, the report said. She was in the player’s hotel room heavily intoxicated, and Changstrom believed the woman was “too intoxicated” to leave the hotel in a ride-share or cab service, so he called 911, the report said. 

Denver Police Lieutenant Todd Fuller, who was traveling with the Avalanche, told one of the responding Seattle police officers there were no reports of any criminal interactions beyond the woman being heavily intoxicated, the report said. 

According to the report, the woman told police in the ambulance that she should never have come to the United States and that some guy took her passport, adding “he was a bad person.” She did not elaborate any further, the report said. 

An Avalanche team spokesman had no comment on the report as of Friday morning.
