Imago
Nino Niederreiter is in great shape this holiday season. Last week, the 31-year-old Grisons winger stood out once morest Boston by scoring twice, with an assist, to guide Winnipeg to a 5-1 victory. He did it once more this Saturday evening, during the reception of the Minnesota Wild, the franchise in which he played from 2013 to 2019. The Jets recorded a 21st success in 34 NHL matches this season (4-2), thanks to two new goals from their Swiss player. The latter now has 12 goals and 10 assists since the start of the current year.
“El Nino” found the fault for the first time during the first third, allowing the Canadians to lead 2-0 (15th), at the end of an action that he initiated by bringing out the puck blocked once morest the boards .
Bis repeated in the 27th minute when he found himself at the origin and conclusion – full of opportunism – of an offensive phase of his team to widen the gap.
Credited with the first star of the match
As the match headed towards a clear outcome, Minnesota reignited the suspense by returning to 3-2 through Ryan Hartman (31st) and Matt Boldy (41st). Axel Jonsson-Fjällby was responsible for giving Winnipeg two steps back (43rd). This will no longer be contested therefollowing.
Playing less than 15 minutes of the entire match (14’28”), Nino Niederreiter was credited with the first star. Enough to justify his recent contract extension until 2027, initialed at the beginning of the month.
In the standings, Winnipeg is 4th in the Western Conference.
