Matt Nieto Ready For Season Debut
14 seconds agoPittsburgh Penguins left wing Matt Nieto (knee) will enter the lineup for his season debut on Friday versus Columbus. The 32-year-old has been unavailable for nearly a year due to knee problems, last playing in the NHL on Nov. 30, 2023. Nieto collected four points (one goal, three assists) in 22 outings last season. He makes a very welcome return for a team that's lost several attacking players to injury lately, but Nieto isn't expected to make an impact in fantasy hockey. The experienced winger joins the lineup in a fourth-line role, skating next to Noel Acciari and Valtteri Puustinen.
