In brief bursts Friday night at Ball Arena, a rowdy crowd told Valeri Nichushkin all is forgiven. They cheered. They clapped. And they shouted “Choo!” when he handled the puck a minute into the game. While the “open arms” proclamation from the Avs organization and teammates deserves scrutiny, there was no question the fans welcomed Big Val back into their embrace.

During a lengthy scoreless streak that nearly derailed the season down the stretch, it seemed at times the Colorado women’s soccer team couldn’t buy a break.

NEW ORLEANS — No Nikola Jokic? No Zion Williamson? No … anybody? Yeah, this was probably one Michael Malone could afford to miss.
