Nyquist enjoyed the highest-scoring rookie season in franchise history in 2011-12.
a great team in Grand Rapids again. It’s exciting and a lot of fun to come to the rink every day when you’re winning.” Now that he’s in Detroit, Nyquist is intent on showing the Red Wings that the NHL is where he belonged all along. “I want to be a consistent player and play my best every day,” he said. “All of the great players are everyday players. You look at Kronner (Niklas Kronwall), Z and Pav – it seems like they never have a bad day. Even though some games they don’t score, they still do so many good things defensively, they shut down the other top lines. They never stop working. “For a young player, seeing how hard those guys work is impressive. Even though they score 80 to 100 points, they still work the hardest. The Red Wings have won four Stanley Cups over the past 20 years and they’re still not done. They’re still working hard every day. That’s what I want to do as well. I want to be a consistent player and play hard every day.”
