Red Wings' Gustav Nyquist: Dishes on two scores

Nyquist is averaging a point per game since Christmas, with his total over those 11 contests comprised of two goals and nine apples. As long as he continues to produce with such a high degree of consistency, Gus will remain a terrific value play in DFS. Not only has he settled into a groove offensively, but he'll presumably be met with low ownership rates given his team's last-place standing in the Atlantic Division, so take full advantage.

Red Wings' Gustav Nyquist: Factors into both of team's goals

Despite being down five goals in the waning moments of the third period, the Wings were relentless on the forecheck, and Justin Abdelkader forced a turnover that led to a wide-open look for Nyquist, who potted his eighth goal of the season. The Swedish scoring winger is a valuable trade chip for Detroit, and the Original Six club can probably drive up its asking price for Gus since he's operating at a career-best pace of 0.87 points per game.

Red Wings' Gustav Nyquist: Unsung hero on career pace

Nyquist has been on fire in his last six games. He has recorded 10 points, including five goals, in those games while being held off the scoresheet just once. Nyquist's 26 points in 29 games put him on pace to shatter his career mark by at least 20 points. Smart owners are reaping the benefits from drafting this unsung hero.

Red Wings' Gustav Nyquist: Opens scoring

Nyquist opened the scoring in the first period of the back-and-forth thriller that required more than 60 or even 65 minutes of game action to decide. Known more for setting up goals, it was the cerebral forward's first multi-goal game of the season. Nyquist now has six goals and 23 points in his 28 games played this year.

Red Wings' Gustav Nyquist: Leads Wings to win

One of the helpers came with the man advantage, Nyquist's sixth power-play point of the year. The 29-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this coming offseason, and if the Wings choose to dangle him in trade talks they could get a nice return for the winger given his four goals and 21 points through 26 games so far in 2018-19.
