INJURY UPDATE: #NHLJets<\/a> F – Gustav Nyquist will not return to tonight’s game.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Winnipeg Jets PR (@WpgJetsPR) October 31, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n

Nyquist, 36, joined the Jets on a one-year contract for $3.25 million in the off-season. The native of Halmstad, Sweden has five assists in 11 games played on the young season.<\/p>\n

Nyquist has played more than 60 games in a season just once over the past four campaigns – when he played 81 with the Nashville Predators<\/a> in 2023-24 and scored 23 goals with 75 points.<\/p>\n

A veteran of 14 NHL seasons, Nyquist has made stops with the Detroit Red Wings<\/a>, San Jose Sharks<\/a>, Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a>, Minnesota Wild<\/a>, Predators and the Jets.<\/p>\n

The news comes at an inopportune time for the Jets, who have already been missing key players early in the year due to injuries – forward Cole Perfetti<\/a>, who scored 50 points a year ago, is nearing a return from an ankle injury, while defenceman Dylan Samberg<\/a>, who finished third in scoring by a defenceman on the Jets a year ago, is still out indefinitely with a broken wrist.<\/p>\n

The Jets enter their contest against the Blackhawks at 7-3-0, third place in the Central Division behind the Utah Mammoth<\/a> and Colorado Avalanche<\/a>.<\/p>\n
