Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Fills empty net
Gustav 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 Nashville 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
Gustav 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 Nashville 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: Five points in five games
Gustav 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.

After opening the year with no points over four games, Nyquist has two goals and two assists over his last three contests.

Predators' Gustav Nyquist: Finds first assist
Gustav 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 Nashville 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.
