Tortorella has appreciated a lot about Nyquist's game, from his professionalism to his ability to play in all situations to his scoring punch to his consistency. In a season marked by a ridiculous number of injuries, Nyquist lived up to his reputation as one of the most dependable players in the NHL, as the 30-year-old winger was one of just three CBJ players to suit up in all 70 games this year. In that span, Nyquist notched 42 points to place second on the team thanks to 15 goals and 27 assists.
