Minnesota Picks Up Gustav Nyquist
2 years agoThe Minnesota Wild have added winger Gustav Nyquist (upper body) from Columbus to their attack in exchange for a 2023 fifth-round pick. The 33-year-old spent two and a half seasons with the Blue Jackets, posting 43 goals and 74 assists in 200 games. He's on 10 goals and 12 assists this season with 48 games played and is currently recovering from an upper-body injury. Nyquist last played on Jan. 25 and it's unclear if he can return to the lineup before the regular season finishes, but he will definitely be of great help come playoff time. The Swedish winger, who has recorded 423 points in 700 games for his whole career, will occupy a middle-six spot on the team once he's healthy.
