Nino Niederreiter Posts Two More Points
6 years agoCarolina Hurricanes forward Nino Niederreiter potted a goal and added an assist in his team's 4-3 win against the Florida Panthers on Thursday. The 26-year-old not only helped set up the game-winner by Justin Faulk in the third period but also added a plus-two rating, three shots and a hit in 20 minutes of ice time in the contest. Niederreiter has looked like a different player since getting traded to Carolina from Minnesota in mid-January and has been a point-per-game player (15 points in 15 games) while joining Sebastian Aho and Justin Williams on his new team's top line. The former fifth-overall draft pick's ownership continues to climb (now 60% in Yahoo! leagues) but if fantasy owners play in a league where he's luckily available, Niederreiter could serve as a game-changing late-season add.
