According to Frank Seravalli from Daily Faceoff, there are reports linking Nichushkin's abrupt departure from the team hotel to an alcohol-related incident involving his team. However, it should be noted that these details have not been confirmed.
He also said he himself and other reporters are trying to figure out what part of this story should be published and what should be considered to remain private.
