Top Gustav Nyquist News

  • 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.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Puts up helper

    Nyquist notched an assist and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers.

    Nyquist has been inconsistent in November, going three games between each time he's gotten on the scoresheet. The 35-year-old remains part of the top six, but he has not been able to replicate his steady playmaking from 2023-24. He's at six goals, four assists, 28 shots on net and a minus-11 rating over 23 appearances, and he's yet to record a power-play point in 2024-25.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Fills empty net

    Nyquist scored an empty-net goal in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

    Nyquist ended the threat of a Vancouver comeback with 21 seconds left in the game. The winger is up to six goals this season, but his last three tallies have been into empty nets. The good news is those goals mean the Predators are finding more wins, but the 35-year-old won't have sustainable offense if he can't get the better of a goalie now and then. Nyquist has nine points, 21 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 19 appearances.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Deposits empty-netter

    Nyquist scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over Utah.

    Nyquist snapped a three-game slump with his empty-netter. The 35-year-old has lost his place on the top line, swapping spots with Steven Stamkos earlier in the week, though the results continue to be mixed at best for the Predators. Nyquist is up to five goals, three assists, 17 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 15 appearances. Considering he's more of a playmaker, Nyquist's production is likely to be dependent on the efficiency of his teammates, though he can still chip in 20 goals on his own.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Makes late impact

    Nyquist scored a goal, added an assist, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

    Nyquist's pair of points came on empty-netters -- he set up Filip Forsberg's freebie before scoring one of his own 33 seconds later. This was Nyquist's second multi-point effort of the campaign. After a slow start, the winger has four goals and three assists over his last seven outings to get his offense on track. That's all of his points through 11 appearances, and he's added 13 shots on net, eight blocked shots, six hits and a plus-1 rating while playing in the top six and on the second power-play unit.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Five points in five games

    Nyquist scored a goal Monday in a 3-2 OT loss to Tampa Bay.

    Nyquist has three goals and two assists in his last five games after starting the season pointless in four games. The now 35-year-old caught lightning in a bottle last season with a career 75-point season, including 52 assists. It's almost impossible for him to replicate that effort, both because of age and the decreased opportunity that comes with a deeper forward corps in Nashville, but Nyquist will provide you with fantasy depth and maybe his fifth 50-point season.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Helps erase deficit Friday

    Nyquist scored a shorthanded goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

    Nyquist set up Filip Forsberg's goal at 13:41 of the second period before scoring the game-tying goal himself on a shorthanded rush just over three minutes later. After opening the year with no points over four games, Nyquist has two goals and two assists over his last three contests. The top-line winger has added 10 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through seven appearances. Nyquist is more of a complementary player who should offer assists and power-play production on a fairly consistent basis.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: First goal of season Tuesday

    Nyquist scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.

    It took Nyquist six games to find the back of the net, but he finally ended his drought with a third-period goal as Nashville snapped its losing skid and clinched its first win of the season. Nyquist has points in each of his last two outings and should continue to have opportunities to produce as long as he continues to skate alongside Ryan O'Reilly and Filip Forsberg in the first line.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Finds first assist

    Nyquist logged an assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

    Linemates Ryan O'Reilly and Filip Forsberg have been good despite the Predators' rough start, but Nyquist hadn't gotten on the scoresheet in the first four games. The veteran winger has posted seven shots on net, three hits and a minus-4 rating over five appearances this season. Nyquist's 75-point effort in 81 regular-season games in 2023-24 was likely unsustainable, but fantasy managers expect more from forwards getting first-line minutes and power-play time on the second unit. He doesn't play much of a physical game, so he has to maintain production offensively to be an option in most fantasy formats.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Earns helper in Game 5 win

    Nyquist produced an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

    Nyquist set up Alexandre Carrier for the game-winning goal in the third period. The 34-year-old Nyquist has a goal, three assists, five shots on net and five hits over five playoff appearances. The winger should continue to fill a playmaking role on the Predators' top line as they return home for another elimination game Friday.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Tallies in loss

    Nyquist scored a goal and went minus-2 in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

    Nyquist put the Predators ahead 2-1 in the second period with his first goal of the playoffs. The 34-year-old winger has added two assists, three shots on net, four hits and a minus-4 rating over four appearances. Nyquist is still steady on offense, but the Predators have been unable to protect narrow leads well in the first round.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Gathers assist Tuesday

    Nyquist logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.

    Nyquist set up Filip Forsberg's second-period tally, which was the game-winner. The 34-year-old Nyquist is playing the role of a steady playmaker on the top line -- he has two helpers through two playoff contests, and he's earned a goal and five assists over his last five appearances. He should continue to see ample ice time at even strength and on the power play, giving him plenty of chances to chip in with offense.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Records helper in Game 1 loss

    Nyquist registered a power-play assist and went minus-3 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 1.

    Nyquist has a goal and seven helpers over eight games since the start of April. The winger was able to set up Ryan O'Reilly for a second-period goal, but the Predators' top line found no joy at even strength. Nyquist had a career year with 75 points over 81 appearances, and the Predators will hope he still has some offense left in the tank for the postseason.

  • Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Continues strong stretch play

    Nyquist scored a goal during Monday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.

    While Nyquist hadn't scored in his last six games prior to Monday, he's still been productive, contributing six assists in that time. He's been on a surge down the stretch, with six goals and 19 points over his last 15 contests. Nyquist has averaged almost a point per game this season, but he's outpacing that as the Predators get into postseason form.
