Nyquist will miss his 10th straight game to end the regular season. He had one goal and 11 assists in 51 games with the Jets in 2025-26 and at the age of 36, he may not get another opportunity to play at the NHL level.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Poised to miss out Monday
Rotowire
Nyquist (undisclosed) is not expected to be in the lineup versus Vegas on Monday.
Nyquist will miss his eighth straight game due to his lingering undisclosed injury. At this point, it seems unlikely that the veteran winger will be able to return in time to face Utah on Tuesday in the second half of a back-to-back. If Nyquist doesn't return before the end of the regular season, he will finish the year having generated 12 points in 51 contests.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Not playing Thursday
Rotowire
Nyquist (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Thursday's game in St. Louis, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Nyquist will miss his sixth straight game with the injury. The 36-year-old veteran has one goal and 12 points in 51 games this season, including five assists on the power play. He is on a one-year deal with Winnipeg and this could be his last season in the NHL, based on his age and lack of production.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Sporting non-contact jersey
Rotowire
Nyquist was practicing in a non-contact sweater ahead of Monday's game against the Kraken, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
It seems Nyquist is dealing with an undisclosed injury, and the fact that he's not cleared for contact effectively rules him out versus Seattle. The 36-year-old winger hasn't played in the Jets' last four outings, so it's possible he was dealing with this problem and not simply a healthy scratch. Even when healthy, Nyquist doesn't offer enough fantasy value to make him more than a low-end option.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Finally gets first goal of season
Rotowire
Nyquist scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay.
It's Nyquist's first goal of the season and first as a Jet. It came in his 40th game this season. His time as a source of secondary scoring seems to be over. Nyquist has just 10 points this season after putting up 28 in 81 games last year. It's easy to forget his career-best 75 points in 2023-24.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Garners assist Saturday
Rotowire
Nyquist logged an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.
Nyquist logged just two helpers in four appearances during January. His struggles this season have been obvious, leaving him as a regular healthy scratch as the Jets try to right the ship. The 36-year-old winger is at nine helpers, 41 shots on net, 19 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through just 33 outings. Nyquist isn't guaranteed to be in the lineup, and he has often played on the fourth line lately when he suits up.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Ends slump with helper
Rotowire
Nyquist posted a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Nyquist had gone 10 games without a point, and he was scratched for four contests in that span. The 36-year-old winger's declining offense has been a poor fit for the Jets this year, and he may not be out of the woods for scratches if he can't find more consistency. He's logged just seven helpers with 33 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-1 rating over 25 outings.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: First helper since return
Rotowire
Nyquist notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Nyquist got his first point in three games since he returned from missing five contests due to an undisclosed injury. The 36-year-old finds himself on the fourth line currently because the team is healthy up front. Nyquist has yet to score his first goal as a Jet, adding six assists, 17 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 14 appearances this season.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Skates, not ready to return
Rotowire
Nyquist (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Friday in San Jose, but he did participate in the morning skate while wearing a non-contact jersey.
Although Nyquist probably needs to take contact in a practice before Winnipeg can put him back into the lineup, the fact that he's traveling and skating with the team is a good sign. The 36-year-old has five assists in 11 appearances this year. Nikita Chibrikov is projected to serve on the third line Friday, but Nyquist might have occupied that role if he were healthy.

Rotowire

Nyquist left Thursday's 6-3 win over Chicago because of the injury. He has five assists in 11 appearances this year. Brad Lambert is projected to draw into the lineup Saturday due to Nyquist's absence. The 36-year-old Nyquist is regarded as day-to-day, so there's still a chance he'll be available for Tuesday's tilt in LA.

Nyquist had an assist in 1:28 of ice time during the contest. The exact nature of his injury remains unclear, leaving his status in doubt for Saturday's game versus the Penguins.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Nabs first point with new team
Rotowire
Nyquist notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
The helper was Nyquist's first point in three games as a member of the Jets. The 36-year-old has occupied a third-line role so far but is also seeing power-play time, as the Jets have used both of their units pretty evenly. Nyquist also has five shots on net, three hits and four blocked shots, but in the long run, it'll be his scoring consistency that determines his fantasy value.
Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Agrees to terms with Winnipeg
Rotowire
Nyquist signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Nyquist has made at least 70 regular-season appearances in nine of the last 10 seasons, most recently recording 11 goals, 17 assists, 44 hits, 30 blocked shots and 16 PIM while averaging 16:51 of ice time over 79 regular-season outings between Nashville and Minnesota last year. He took a step back after logging a career-high 75 points with the Predators the year before, and he'll attempt to bounce back in the 2025-26 season as part of an offense that was tied for third in the NHL with 3.35 goals per game last year.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Nyquist scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.
Nyquist has two goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 35-year-old is down on the third line, but the decrease in ice time may be benefiting him, as he's also drawing easier matchups. Nyquist is up to 11 goals, 28 points, 102 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-24 rating over 77 appearances between the Wild and Predators this season.

Wild's Gustav Nyquist: Picks up assist Wednesday
Rotowire
Nyquist managed an assist in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime win over the Sharks.
Nyquist has four points over his last six outings. He was beginning to look more comfortable in the Wild's lineup, but the returns of Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek from their respective lower-body injuries bumped Nyquist down to the third line Wednesday. It'll be tough for Nyquist to be productive in a limited role. He's at just 27 points, 100 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-23 rating over 76 appearances between the Wild and the Predators this season.
