    The Detroit Red Wings agreed to terms with right wing Gustav Nyquist on a four-year contract, the team announced Friday.

    Financial terms were not disclosed, but Sportsnet reported the contract to be worth $19 million.

    "We're very happy to have Gustav locked up for four more years," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said. "He's quickly become an important part of our team, and is a critical piece to the Red Wings' future. He is just now entering the prime of his career."

    Nyquist, who was a restricted free agent, is Detroit's top goal-scorer over the past two seasons, scoring 55 goals since the start of 2013-14. After beginning that season with Grand Rapids in the American Hockey League, Nyquist played 57 games with the Red Wings and led the team with 28 goals.
