Nichushkin undergoes successful hip surgery
Exciting Dallas Stars power forward Valeri Nichushkin underwent a successful operation on Tuesday. The surgery is aimed at fixing some persistent hip discomfort that has dogged the 19-year-old Russian-born right wing all season.
From Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News:
Nichushkin has appeared in only four games this season, and has yet to record the first point of his sophomore NHL campaign.
