Niederreiter, the fifth overall pick in the 2010 draft, got a look on the right side with checking-line forwards Matt Cooke and Kyle Brodziak. If Jason Zucker and Charlie Coyle wind up as Dany Heatley’s linemates, Niederreiter had to show the Wild brass that he can play a third-line role if he has any shot to make the team.

Niederreiter, known more for his scoring, had five hits, often came away from board battles with the puck and is getting stronger without the puck every game, coach Mike Yeo said.

Nyquist received a two-year contact from Detroit that has an annual cap hit of $950,000. He'll earn $850,000 this season and $1,050,000 in 2014-15. He will still be a restricted free agent when this deal expires.

The 23-year-old forward appeared in 22 games for Detroit during the regular season, and then appeared in all 14 of the Red Wings' playoff games.

The Minnesota WIld have acquired Nino Niederreiter from the New York Islanders in exchange for Cal Clutterbuck and the 70th overall pick (3rd round)

Niederreiter has had some issues in New York since being selected fifth overall in 2010. He scored 28 goals and added 22 assists (50 points) in 74 games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL.

Nyquist recalled from Griffins.

Nyquist will slide into the injured Patrick Eaves' spot in the lineup on the LW with Andersson and Cleary. Nyquist leads the AHL in scoring with 60 points in 58 games, but has only recorded one assist in four games with the Red Wings this season.

Babcock said Abdelkader will start on line with Datsyuk and Franzen but that Nyquist will play up there too. Nyquist starts with 63 and 11

Nyquist will need to take advantage of his time on Datsyuk's line if he wants to play there permanently. Abdelkader has yet to produce on that line so Nyquist should have no problem bumping him down.

The Red Wings have recalled Gustav Nyquist from Grand Rapids and reassigned Tomas Tatar to the Griffins.

Nyquist is the AHL's leading scorer right now with 60 points in 57 games. He failed to register a point in two games for the Red Wings this season. He will likely play alongside Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen.

Jets announce Scheifele has been reassigned to Barrie Colts.

Scheifele only appeared in 4 games this season and served as a healthy scratch in 5 games. This is a good move for the Jets as he will get more playing time and opportunity in the OHL. Scheifele is a big part of the Jets future and there is no sense just having him sit and watch the games.

#Isles Niederreiter seeking trade

Niederreiter wants out of New York. He didn't make the team out of camp, and obviously feels like he should have. He has 36 points in 39 games in the AHL, so right now he has no fantasy value. Keep an eye on this, if he gets traded to a team that gives him an opportunity to play he could become fantasy relevant.

Nyquist will make his NHL playoff debut Friday night at Bridgestone Arena, where he'll play on the Red Wings' third line in the spot vacated by Darren Helm, who was lost for the season in Game 1 after suffering a cut on his left forearm that required surgery.

Nyquist had one goal and 6 assists in 18 games with the Red Wings this season. He was much more effective in a top 6 role alongside Pavel Datsyuk.
