The mystery surrounding Valeri Nichushkin has been the subject of much discussion in the National Hockey League in recent days, but new developments have emerged. Here's a reminder of what we knew so far: after last weekend's game between the Colorado Avalanche and the Kraken in Seattle, Nichushkin left the team suddenly for personal reasons, not because of injury or discipline. He left in a hurry, accompanied by security, to go somewhere by taking a flight from the Seattle airport. Just recently, Frank Seravalli made some new revelations about this: <q>I'm working on this story. It's difficult, because we have to define boundaries between the player's personal life and what can be revealed publicly. From what I understand, there was an alcohol-related incident that occurred and I don't know what the next steps are and I don't know how serious it is, but it's clear that something happened at the team hotel on Friday night, and it required the Avalanche organization to get involved. There's something going on, I don't have all the details, but I'm working on it.</q> Wow this is still a disturbing story, even with this new ending. We also learn that Nichushkin is not expected to return soon. All indications are that he is expected to be out long-term. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/taj1944/status/1650868090299891714?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1650868090299891714%7Ctwgr%5E67c86d51cc99221f7a631c8cbdc07495d7517857%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsetlnh.com%2FFrank-Seravalli-vient-enfin-de-reveler-pourquoi-Nichushkin-a-quitte-equipe-en-urgence-avec-la-securite-jusqua-aeroport-230625'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Eurolanche/status/1650882907924320257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1650882907924320257%7Ctwgr%5E67c86d51cc99221f7a631c8cbdc07495d7517857%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsetlnh.com%2FFrank-Seravalli-vient-enfin-de-reveler-pourquoi-Nichushkin-a-quitte-equipe-en-urgence-avec-la-securite-jusqua-aeroport-230625'> </a></blockquote></div> Credit: <a href='https://www.habsetlnh.com/equipe-lnh/avalanche-du-colorado/Frank-Seravalli-vient-enfin-de-reveler-pourquoi-Nichushkin-a-quitte-equipe-en-urgence-avec-la-securite-jusqua-aeroport' class='link_marker' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>HabsetLNH.com</a>
