Wings’ Nyquist ends drought, looks to finish strong

Toronto — Having returned Saturday from a six-game suspension, Red Wings forward Gustav Nyquist was talking Tuesday morning about having a strong finish for the rest of his season.

Nyquist began that quest Tuesday, scoring both goals for the Red Wings in the 3-2 loss to Toronto.

The goals ended a 12-game goal-scoring drought for Nyquist, who has suffered through a disappointing season with only nine goals entering Wednesday’s game.

But Nyquist was thinking more about team success than his own after Tuesday’s game.

“As long as that helps helps the team, that’s the most important,” Nyquist said.
