Nyquist notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Nyquist got his first point in three games since he returned from missing five contests due to an undisclosed injury. The 36-year-old finds himself on the fourth line currently because the team is healthy up front. Nyquist has yet to score his first goal as a Jet, adding six assists, 17 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 14 appearances this season.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Skates, not ready to return
Rotowire
Nyquist (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Friday in San Jose, but he did participate in the morning skate while wearing a non-contact jersey.
Although Nyquist probably needs to take contact in a practice before Winnipeg can put him back into the lineup, the fact that he's traveling and skating with the team is a good sign. The 36-year-old has five assists in 11 appearances this year. Nikita Chibrikov is projected to serve on the third line Friday, but Nyquist might have occupied that role if he were healthy.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Unavailable for Saturday
Rotowire
Nyquist (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's clash against Pittsburgh, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site on Friday.
Nyquist left Thursday's 6-3 win over Chicago because of the injury. He has five assists in 11 appearances this year. Brad Lambert is projected to draw into the lineup Saturday due to Nyquist's absence. The 36-year-old Nyquist is regarded as day-to-day, so there's still a chance he'll be available for Tuesday's tilt in LA.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Nabs first point with new team
Rotowire
Nyquist notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
The helper was Nyquist's first point in three games as a member of the Jets. The 36-year-old has occupied a third-line role so far but is also seeing power-play time, as the Jets have used both of their units pretty evenly. Nyquist also has five shots on net, three hits and four blocked shots, but in the long run, it'll be his scoring consistency that determines his fantasy value.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Agrees to terms with Winnipeg
Rotowire
Nyquist signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Nyquist has made at least 70 regular-season appearances in nine of the last 10 seasons, most recently recording 11 goals, 17 assists, 44 hits, 30 blocked shots and 16 PIM while averaging 16:51 of ice time over 79 regular-season outings between Nashville and Minnesota last year. He took a step back after logging a career-high 75 points with the Predators the year before, and he'll attempt to bounce back in the 2025-26 season as part of an offense that was tied for third in the NHL with 3.35 goals per game last year.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.
