Nyquist posted two assists and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.
Nyquist set up even-strength tallies by Oskar Sundqvist and Frederick Gaudreau. That trio looks like a solid third line for the Wild. Nyquist has been at his playmaking best with a goal and seven helpers over five contests in his time with Minnesota this season.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Produces helper in Game 1
Rotowire
Nyquist logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars.
Nyquist has been an instant success since he made his Wild debut April 8, producing a goal and five assists over four contests. The 33-year-old was brought in from the Blue Jackets while dealing with an upper-body injury at the trade deadline with the mindset that he would be able to help the Wild's offense in a middle-six role. So far, so good. Look for Nyquist to remain on the third line and second power-play unit throughout the playoffs.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Nets 11th goal of 2022-23
Rotowire
Nyquist scored a goal in the Wild's 4-2 win over Chicago on Monday.

That puts him well behind his 2021-22 finish of 18 goals and 53 points in 82 appearances, but now that Nyquist is healthy, he'll look to provide the Wild with some valuable secondary scoring over the course of their playoff run.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Set for Wild debut

Nyquist (upper body) will make his first appearance with Minnesota on Saturday against St. Louis, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Nyquist was acquired from Columbus at the trade deadline but has yet to suit up for Minnesota while recovering from an upper-body injury.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Nearing return?
Rotowire
When asked about the possibility of Nyquist (upper body) returning to action Saturday against St. Louis, coach Dean Evason said "Is there a chance? I guess, yeah. Probably one," Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reorts.
Nyquist hasn't played since late January due to an upper-body injury, but it sounds like he's probably at least gotten to the point in his recovery where he can be considered day-to-day moving forward. The 33-year-old vet collected 22 points through 48 contests with Columbus before being traded to Minnesota on Feb. 28. He'll likely slot into a middle-six role whenever he's cleared to make his Wild debut.
Nyquist (upper body) hasn't begun skating yet but will travel with the team to meet his new teammates, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Monday.
Nyquist was originally ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him back until closer to the playoffs. Still, the fact that Minnesota traded for the winger should be a good indication they are at least expecting him to be ready to play at some point.

Blue Jackets' Gustav Nyquist: Two points including GWG
Rotowire
Nyquist scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.
Coach Brad Larsen juggled his lines after a sluggish start to the game for the Blue Jackets, and the unit of Nyquist, Boone Jenner and rookie Kent Johnson accounted for two of Columbus' five goals on the night. Nyquist had a seven-game point drought to begin January but has busted out since, picking up two goals and four points over his last four contests. His fantasy value in shallower formats remains limited -- on the season, the veteran winger has only 10 goals and 22 points in 46 games.

Blue Jackets' Gustav Nyquist: Continues to dish
Rotowire
Nyquist recorded an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Nyquist is finding his groove; he's posted a helper in three straight games and his six shots against the Blackhawks stand as a new season high. He hasn't produced any power-play points, despite being on the No. 1 unit, but then again, Columbus is ranked 30th in the league with a paltry 15.6 power-play percentage.
