Detroit — Gustav Nyquist was feeling better Tuesday after battling an illness the last couple of days.

It’s a good thing, too, because these next several days, Nyquist is going to need all the energy he can muster.

The NHL trade deadline is 3 p.m. Monday, and Nyquist’s name continues to be floated as a potential target for a playoff contender.

Nyquist can be an unrestricted free agent this summer, which makes him a prime rental for a team needing depth for the upcoming playoffs.
