Approximately two weeks from return Nyquist (shoulder) is approximately two weeks away from joining the Blue Jackets, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. Impact Nyquist underwent shoulder surgery in November, with an initial estimate of a 5-to-6 month recovery. April 4 will be the five-month mark, so the Swede is right on track. Per Scheig, Nyquist's primary focus currently is on building up strength. Due to the long layoff, the 31-year-old winger would likely be eased back into action initially -- he's most likely to fill a middle-six role.
