Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Finds twine in loss
Nyquist scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.
Nyquist has two goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 35-year-old is down on the third line, but the decrease in ice time may be benefiting him, as he's also drawing easier matchups. Nyquist is up to 11 goals, 28 points, 102 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-24 rating over 77 appearances between the Wild and Predators this season.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Picks up assist Wednesday
Nyquist managed an assist in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime win over the Sharks.
Nyquist has four points over his last six outings. He was beginning to look more comfortable in the Wild's lineup, but the returns of Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek from their respective lower-body injuries bumped Nyquist down to the third line Wednesday. It'll be tough for Nyquist to be productive in a limited role. He's at just 27 points, 100 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-23 rating over 76 appearances between the Wild and the Predators this season.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Two-point effort in OT loss
Nyquist scored a power-play goal and added a shorthanded assist in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
The veteran winger opened the scoring exactly nine minutes into the first period before setting up Marcus Johansson for a shortie midway through the second. It was Nyquist's first multi-point performance since the first game of 2025, and he's had a tough time adjusting since being shipped north by the Predators at the trade deadline. Over 16 appearances with the Wild, Nyquist has just one goal and five points.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Grabs helper in win
Nyquist provided an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.
Nyquist helped out on Liam Ohgren's first-period tally, which stretched the Wild's lead to 3-0 early on. This was Nyquist's second helper over nine appearances since the Wild acquired him in a trade with the Predators. He hasn't exactly provided a boost to Minnesota's offense, as his struggles from Nashville have followed him north. For the season, the winger is at 23 points, 85 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-21 rating through 66 outings.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: First point since trade
Nyquist logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Nyquist snapped a five-game point drought with the helper, his first point in six outings since he was dealt to Minnesota from Nashville. The 35-year-old has claimed a top-six role in his second stint with the team, but he's not doing enough on offense to justify a roster spot in fantasy. Dating back to his time with the Predators, he has just two helpers across his last 16 outings. For the season, Nyquist is at 22 points, 81 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-22 rating over 63 appearances.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Traded Saturday
Nyquist was acquired by Minnesota from Nashville on Saturday in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick.
A move involving Nyquist was anticipated after the Predators announced that he wouldn't play Saturday versus the Islanders for trade-related reasons. The 35-year-old has nine goals and 21 points in 57 appearances in 2024-25. That's a steep decline from his 75-point showing across 81 regular-season outings in 2023-24, but it's not an entirely shocking drop given how much of an outlier his performance was -- he's hit the 50-point mark just three other times in his career, and his next best campaign offensively was 2018-19 when he recorded 60 points. Nyquist will probably serve in a middle-six capacity and might see some power-play time in Minnesota.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Out for trade-related reasons
Nyquist won't play against the Islanders on Saturday due to trade-related reasons.
The Predators play against the Rangers on Sunday, and Nyquist could sit out that matchup if a trade remains close. He has accounted for nine goals, 21 points and 71 shots on net across 57 appearances this season.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Pockets assist in win
Nyquist managed an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Jets.
Ryan O'Reilly won a faceoff and Nyquist got the puck to Filip Forsberg for a quick goal at 4:26 of the first period. The helper ended a nine-game point drought for Nyquist, who was moved up to the top line at even strength and led the Predators' forwards with 21:32 of ice time Thursday. His offense has largely been unreliable in 2024-25, and he adds little else statistically. The veteran winger is at 21 points, 71 shots on net and a minus-20 rating across 57 outings this season.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Goal against USA at 4 Nations
Nyquist scored a goal in Sweden's 2-1 win over the United States at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Monday.
Nyquist was headed to the net and got his stick on a shot from the right boards. It was enough to change the direction of the puck and get it through Jake Oettinger in the first period. Nyquist has struggled this season, like almost all of the Predators, and he has just 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) in 53 games after establishing a career high with 75 points, including 52 assists, the year before. This best-on-best play could be the boost Nyquist needs to bring up his game for the rest of the season.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Goals in back-to-back games
Nyquist scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.
Nyquist went 36 games without scoring on a goalie, but now he's done it in back-to-back contests. The winger tied the game at 1-1 in the first period and saw a season-high 22:24 of ice time since the Predators dressed 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Nyquist is up to 20 points, 61 shots on net and a minus-16 rating over 47 appearances.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Puts puck past goalie
Nyquist scored a power-play goal and went minus-2 in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Sharks.
Nyquist broke a couple of lengthy slumps Thursday. He had gone 36 games without scoring on a goalie -- his last four goals were all empty-netters. This was also his first power-play point of the campaign after he had 24 of them last season. He struck at 3:58 of this contest with a tally past Yaroslav Askarov. Nyquist is up to eight goals, 19 points, 58 shots on net and a minus-18 rating through 46 appearances, so he'll still be tough to trust in fantasy. He has just two points during a five-game span in which the Predators have scored 27 times.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Records helper Tuesday
Nyquist posted an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Nyquist has earned a goal and four assists over his last six outings. The winger is showing a little more life on offense and continues to log time on Nashville's second line. For the season, he has 18 points, 53 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 42 appearances. Nyquist doesn't add much outside of points, so he's not the strongest of depth options in most fantasy formats.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Hands out assist in loss
Nyquist notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
Nyquist has picked up four points over his last four games, going plus-1 rating with 11 shots on net in that span. It's not enough to say he's back to being a top-six-level producer, but he's doing much better than he did for much of the first half of the campaign. He's at seven goals, 10 assists, 52 shots on net and a minus-15 rating over 40 appearances. If Nashville's offense remains unreliable, Nyquist is not the kind of player who can buck that trend.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Ends goal drought with empty-netter
Nyquist scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-0 win over the Canucks.
Both of Nyquist's points Friday came on empty-net goals. Since the start of November, he has four goals and seven assists over 28 appearances, and all of those tallies have gone into empty nets. That makes his total of 16 points in 38 contests -- already a fairly poor mark for a top-six forward -- a bit misleading, as he hasn't scored against a goaltender since Oct. 28 versus the Lightning. After producing 23 goals and 75 points in the 2023-24 regular season, Nyquist may struggle to get to the 40-point mark this season.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: No goals in December
Nyquist logged an assist and six shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
Nyquist's goal drought is up to 18 games, 12 of which have been in December. He had four assists this month, but he also took just 16 shots on net -- a good chunk of them coming in Tuesday's loss. The 35-year-old winger has always been more of a playmaker, but this is a brutal slump. Nyquist is at 14 points, 47 shots on net and a minus-15 rating through 37 appearances. Despite his quiet offense, he remains in a second-line role and on the second power-play unit.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Generates helper Thursday
Nyquist notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Nyquist has two helpers over four contests since he missed a game due to an illness. He has just three assists over 13 games since his last goal. The 35-year-old winger is playing on the second line after the Predators shuffled their top six, with Ryan O'Reilly as his center and a rotating cast of wingers on the opposite side, most recently Zachary L'Heureux. Nyquist has just 12 points with 36 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 32 appearances in 2024-25, so he's not a particularly strong player for fantasy purposes.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Good to return
Nyquist (illness) is set to draw back into the Predators' lineup Thursday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Nyquist missed Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Chicago because of the illness. He has six goals and 10 points over 28 outings in 2024-25. Nyquist is projected to play alongside Ryan O'Reilly, who is returning from a lower-body injury, and Colton Sissons.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Not playing Tuesday
Nyquist (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Flames.
Nyquist will miss at least one game while under the weather. The 35-year-old's absence will be covered by Juuso Parssinen in Tuesday's contest. Nyquist has just 10 points through 28 contests this season.
