Nyquist logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Nyquist set up Filip Forsberg's second-period tally, which was the game-winner. The 34-year-old Nyquist is playing the role of a steady playmaker on the top line -- he has two helpers through two playoff contests, and he's earned a goal and five assists over his last five appearances. He should continue to see ample ice time at even strength and on the power play, giving him plenty of chances to chip in with offense.

Nyquist registered a power-play assist and went minus-3 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Nyquist has a goal and seven helpers over eight games since the start of April. The winger was able to set up Ryan O'Reilly for a second-period goal, but the Predators' top line found no joy at even strength. Nyquist had a career year with 75 points over 81 appearances, and the Predators will hope he still has some offense left in the tank for the postseason.

Nyquist scored a goal during Monday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
While Nyquist hadn't scored in his last six games prior to Monday, he's still been productive, contributing six assists in that time. He's been on a surge down the stretch, with six goals and 19 points over his last 15 contests. Nyquist has averaged almost a point per game this season, but he's outpacing that as the Predators get into postseason form.

Nyquist had a goal and an assist in a 7-4 loss to Colorado on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Nyquist extended his point streak to eight games (12 points; five goals, seven assists). He continues to pad his career point mark. Nyquist has 68 points, including 46 assists, in 74 games. Not bad for a 34-year-old. Don't expect him to replicate that next season -- there are too many factors against him. But right now, hot is hot.

Nyquist logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Nyquist helped out on the first of Roman Josi's two goals in the third period. The 34-year-old Nyquist had gone eight games without recording just one point -- he had five multi-point efforts and three scoreless outings in that span. He's been an excellent fit alongside Ryan O'Reilly and Filip Forsberg on the top line in his first year with the Predators. Nyquist has 18 goals, 41 helpers, 127 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 68 outings. He's one point shy of matching his career high of 60 from 2018-19.
