Nino Niederreiter to return to Winnipeg's lineup

Nino Niederreiter has been plagued by a knee issue since the start of the season. He eventually underwent surgery in March, and now it looks like he is ready to go again. As the club announces, the forward is back in the lineup for tonight's game between his Winnipeg Jets and the Seattle Kraken.

This season so far, Niederreiter has recorded eight goals and eleven assists in 55 games. He returns at a time of great importance, as the Jets are battling for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
