Nino Niederreiter Scouting Reports

Second line skill - but playing on the 3rd line with the Jets.
Contributing some of the most detailed three zone efforts of his career.
Big body. Skilled. Average plus skater in open ice. Using his weight / leverage / puck touch to his advantage in the offensive zone. Compliments his line mates (Appleton and Lowry). Each bring something to their line. Niederreiter is the most skilled of the three.
Averages 15:20 TOI - 13:11 ES - 2:07 PP - Very rarely sees the ice on the PK.
Credited with 27 hits and 16 shot blocks. Scored 6G-8A in 22GP
Impressively 5G-8A at even strength and a (+9) overall.

After arriving in Winnipeg - via trade from Nashville - he dressed in 22 regular season games and averaged 16:54 TOI - ES and PP - does not kill penalties
Good size - skates fine on straight lines - has to manage shift length or his pace falls off / especially when having to track back from the o-zone to d-zone towards end of shifts
Has some bump to his game along the wall - can be a load to handle out front the net
Good release - can play the middle bumper on the PP - quick catch and release
Veteran player who has average detail defensively but makes up for it with better than secondary scoring - scored 24 total goals in (22/23) - A mid-range 2F

Average TOI for 21/22 was just shy of 15:00 per game
Deployed at ES and on the PP.
On the PP he works the 1/2 wall, middle bumper, and goes to the crease looking for tips and rebounds. At even strength he has the size and puck skill to make plays coming off the boards. Not overly physical. Skating is average plus. His stops and starts take up a lot of energy and reduce the lengths of his shifts. Defensive detail is average. Does not PK.
