Nygard was loaned to Farjestad BK of the SHL on Friday, Elite Prospects reports.
ANALYSIS
The Oilers were swept by the Jets in the first round of the playoffs, so Nygard will head overseas to presumably keep training in preparation for the beginning of the 2021-22 SHL campaign. The 28-year-old forward went scoreless through nine appearances with Edmonton this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
Nygard appeared in 33 games for the Oilers last year, notching nine points and 39 shots on goal. He missed time with a broken hand and a rib injury at various points in the year, but he was a solid depth winger when active. The Oilers got deeper at left wing at the trade deadline with the acquisition of Tyler Ennis, which could make it difficult for Nygard to see regular playing time in 2020-21. The 27-year-old Swede will probably have to settle for a part-time role at best, and his lack of non-scoring numbers will keep him off the fantasy radar entirely.
Nygard spent last season in Sweden, where he posted 35 points in 52 games. It's unclear where exactly the 26-year-old will slot into Edmonton's lineup, but Nygard certainly has the tools and skillset to help Oil Country climb back into the playoff picture in 2019-20. Last year, in 15 postseason contests abroad, Nygard scored five goals and added five assists for 10 points. Should he wind up getting a shot on a scoring line in Edmonton, 2019-20 could be a fruitful one for Nygard.
