Red Wings' Gustav Nyquist: Not invited to World Cup of Hockey

Nyquist missed the cut for Sweden's World Cup of Hockey roster, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Nyquist's exclusion from the international hockey tournament comes as a big surprise, as he was the one that led Sweden with seven goals at the IIHF World Championship earlier this month. The former fourth-round pick will make $4.25 million with Detroit next season and should be counted on heavily with Pavel Datsyuk expressing his desire to forgo the final year of his contract and return to Russia.
