• Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Fills empty net

  17H ago • By RotoWire

  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

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
