Surprisingly enough,\u00a0Nyquist was able to perform at a high level over the past couple of seasons. However, this injury has limited his ability to perform at a high level. Nyquist and the team decided that now was a good time to have the surgery. After signing a four-year contract with the Blue Jackets in July of 2019, Nyquist recorded 42 points (15 goals and 27 assists) in 70 regular-season games. Among forwards ranked second on the team with assists and points. During 10 postseason games, Nyquist recorded four points (two goals and two assists).<\/p>\n<p>A native of Sweden, Nyquist was originally drafted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/redwings\/\" target=\"_self\">Detroit Red Wings<\/a> in the fourth round (121st overall) during the 2008 NHL Draft. During his time in the league, not only did Nyquist play for the Red Wings and Blue Jackets but the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/sharks\/\" target=\"_self\">San Jose Sharks<\/a> too. In 570 career NHL games, Nyquist recorded 348 points (146 goals and 202 assists). Nyquist in 65 career playoff games recorded 21 points (five goals and 16 assists).<\/p>\n<h3>Going Forward<\/h3>\n<p>This is a big loss for the Blue Jackets on offence. Columbus was already thin at forward but losing a player as Nyquist hurts. Nyquist was playing on the left as a top-six winger in the Blue Jackets lineup. Obviously, for the Blue Jackets, it is going to be next man up. Unless the Blue Jackets decide to look at the free-agent market and see what is left.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"bQQezzZaRgp40UJ_VAnX4g\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1205320010\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'bQQezzZaRgp40UJ_VAnX4g',sig:'kcGyQfOLfJUpvwXa_Dp5K5oW3F4NuPwt31x6aAzEkDg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1205320010',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Columbus Blue Jackets announced that forward Gustav Nyquist underwent successful shoulder surgery on a torn labral in his left shoulder.
