Winnipeg Jets forward Nino Niederreiter (leg) could return to the lineup when the club hosts the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday. The Swiss winger has been sidelined since April 1 when he suffered a deep cut on his lower leg against the Los Angeles Kings. "It was kind of a scary play," the veteran said. "I felt something in my leg, but I didn't know exactly what it was, so I reached down a couple times and felt some blood. It started getting warm." Niederreiter added that his Achilles was nicked, as well. The 31-year-old has recorded 18 goals and 33 points across 75 games on the season, adding 114 hits and 34 penalty minutes to his resume. The Jets enter Tuesday's action sitting second in the Central Division, one point ahead of the Colorado Avalanche with one game in hand.
Winnipeg Jets forward Nino Niederreiter notched two goals and an assist in Friday's 5-1 win over the Boston Bruins. The Jets dominated a good Bruins team on Friday, and El Nino was a big part of it. With 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists), the 31-year-old is now on pace to hit 50 points in a season for the first time since the 2016-17 season. He has been a great fit as a member of the middle-six and second powerplay unit for the Jets, and has made himself a viable deep-league option in fantasy as well as a solid streamer in standard formats.
Winnipeg Jets forward Nino Niederreiter scored his 20th goal of the season in a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday. Since being traded from Nashville, the right-winger has netted two goals and two assists in five contests. This season he has 32 points in 60 games. The Swiss native has seen action on Winnipeg's first line alongside Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele at center. Winnipeg is 1-4-0 since Niederreiter has been on the team.

The Jets right winger has one marker and two assists since joining the team four games ago. This season he has 19 goals and 12 assists in 60 games as he was traded from Nashville. Winnipeg needs the 30-year-old veteran to provide a spark as they are fading quickly down the stretch losing eight of the past ten contests.
The Nashville Predators have traded winger Nino Niederreiter to the Winnipeg Jets for a 2024 second-round draft pick. The Swiss forward changes teams for a second time in seven months after signing with Nashville as a free agent from Carolina in July. Niederreiter, whose $8 million contract runs through next season, has bags of experience in the league and should fit in well among Winnipeg's forward corps. In 56 games with the Predators, Niederreiter posted 18 goals and 10 assists. He's one goal short of reaching 200 career goals and needs four more points to become the third Swiss player in NHL history with at least 400 regular-season points.
Nino Niederreiter Delivers Three Assists In Tuesday's Win
Nashville Predators left wing Nino Niederreiter racked up three assists in Tuesday's big 6-3 victory over Montreal. He started the work on the power play 4:10 into the game and collected two more helpers in even-strength situations. It's the second three-assist game of his career, with the first one having come all the way back in 2013. Niederreiter might not have a lot of games with three-plus assists, but he's been a solid offensive weapon throughout his career and has done well again in 2022-23 with 21 points in 36 games. Eight of his points have come in his past eight games, so we have seen the Swiss winger hit hot form for 2023.
Nashville Predators left wing Nino Niederreiter scored twice in Saturday's 3-2 win over San Jose, making it three goals in two games for himself. The Swiss winger became the second player in franchise history to light the lamp at least three times in his first two outings for the team. Niederreiter is looking to produce his third consecutive 20-goal year in 2022-23, and he's off to a superb start on Nashville's second line which also features Ryan Johansen and Kiefer Sherwood. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on the trio.
Carolina Hurricanes winger Nino Niederreiter will be back in action on Tuesday against Tampa Bay after serving a one-game suspension. He'll link up with Jordan Staal and Jesper Fast on the third line. Niederreiter is on a season-worst five-game dry spell, but it's been a pretty good campaign for him overall, as he's notched 17 goals and 31 points in 55 games. The speedy winger has added 103 shots to his tally with 85 hits and a plus-16 rating.
Nino Niederreiter Nets Two Goals Against Red Wings
Carolina Hurricanes winger Nino Niederreiter provided two goals in Thursday's 5-3 win over Detroit, opening the scoring early with a power-play marker and notching the game-winner in the third period. He led the team with five shots in nearly 20 minutes of ice time. The Swiss wingers skated on the first line with Vincent Trocheck and Martin Necas after a number of key forwards were added to the COVID-19 list. It looks like Niederreiter will stay there for a while and it will give him a good opportunity to boost his scoring numbers. The 29-year-old had tallied eight goals and seven assists in 22 games this season.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Nino Niederreiter registered a goal and added a primary assist as his team picked up a 4-1 road victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night. In addition to his pair of points, the 28-year-old recorded two shots on goal, a plus-two rating and two hits in 15:18 of ice time in the contest. Niederreiter has proven to be a valuable fantasy asset yet again in 2020-2021 - posting 29 points (16 goals, 13 assists), a plus-19 rating, 104 shots and 52 hits in 45 contests. With dual-wing eligibility, the Swiss native should easily be owned in more than 61% of Yahoo! leagues. Set to play four times over the next week, Niederreiter should be targeted as a priority-add in leagues in which he's still available.
Nino Niederreiter Scores Lone Goal For Carolina In Loss
Carolina Hurricanes forward Nino Niederreiter put his team on the board late in the third period Monday night, but it was too little too late as the Hurricanes fell 3-1 to the Red Wings. With 15 goals on the year, Niederreiter is on track to hit the 20 goal plateau again after failing to do so in two of the last three seasons. His 1.4 goals scored per 60 pace is a career-best, propped up by a career-best 16.1 percent shooting percentage. Niederreiter does not offer much for the periphery categories, and his assist total is slightly lower than we have come to expect from him, but, for points-only leagues, he holds value as an important piece of a Carolina offense that scores 3.15 goals per game.
Carolina Hurricanes winger Nino Niederreiter posted the game-winning goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Detroit. Dougie Hamilton started the scoring for Carolina with a short-handed goal. Niederreiter is hot in front of the goal right now, having scored in three of his last five appearances. The Swiss winger has already scored more goals (12) than he did during the whole of 2019-20 (11), so he can count his season a success already. Niederreiter will look to add to his 12 goals and 18 points in Tuesday's rematch with Detroit, before entering a four-game set against Columbus. He has scored in two of three outings against the Blue Jackets this season.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Nino Niederreiter potted two goals and an assist to help secure a 5-3 victory over the visiting Chicago Blackhawks on Friday. The 28-year-old was all over the scoresheet in this one - producing the three points, a game-winning goal, plus-two rating and three shots in just 13:44 of ice time. With the big performance, Niederreiter helped vault himself up as a top-ten fantasy asset over the past few weeks and, as a result, has seen his fantasy ownership climb to 35% in Yahoo! leagues over that span. With seven goals over his past 10 games and nine overall on the season, the Swiss native should be targeted as a premiere add for at least the short-term in fantasy leagues.
