Nino Niederreiter - NHL News & Rumors

Slated to play Sunday Niederreiter (upper body) is expected to play against Montreal on Sunday.

Impact Niederreiter logged only 9:52 of ice time against Dallas on Thursday. He left the game after taking a high stick, but he returned to the ice in Saturday's practice. The 34-year-old forward is poised to play on the fourth line and see time on the second power-play unit.

Struck by high stick Niederreiter left Thursday's game versus the Stars after taking a stick up high, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Robert Tiffin of NHL.com reports.

Impact Niederreiter was injured by teammate Tyrel Bauer's errant stick in the third period. Niederreiter can be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game versus the Canadiens. If he can't play, Cole Koepke will likely draw back into the lineup.

Two points in preseason loss Niederreiter scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added four PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Niederreiter is poised for a bottom-six role to begin 2026-27, though he could score his way into middle-six usage. He may also factor in on the power play at times -- his goal Friday came with the man advantage. The winger struggled to 19 points in 61 games in 2025-26, and at 34 years old, a bounce-back season is far from guaranteed.

Deemed week-to-week Niederreiter (lower body) underwent surgery and is considered week-to-week, per Mitchell Clinton.

Impact Head coach Scott Arniel revealed that Niederreiter underwent surgery and remains week-to-week for a return. Prior to the injury, the 33-year-old winger posted eight goals, 19 points and 76 shots on net across 55 games this season.

Placed on injured reserve Niederreiter (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Niederreiter was already regarded as week-to-week, according to head coach Scott Arniel on Tuesday, so this move doesn't necessarily change his timetable. The 33-year-old forward has eight goals and 19 points in 55 appearances in 2025-26. Niederreiter will likely serve as a bottom-six forward once he's ready to return.

Classified as week-to-week Head coach Scott Arniel relayed Tuesday that Niederreiter (undisclosed) is week-to-week, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Clinton noted that Niederreiter skated Tuesday to see how he felt, but it didn't go as well he had anticipated. Niederreiter seemingly sustained the injury while representing Switzerland at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Tanner Pearson will likely draw back into the lineup Wednesday in Vancouver due to Niederreiter's absence.
