This assumption may have come too early for the Minnesota Wild. Trading away Nino Niederreiter for Victor Rask might’ve been rather rash. Especially so when you see Nino scoring two goals as he had three shots on net in a Carolina Hurricanes’ win over the Edmonton Oilers.
Maybe Nino Niederreiter was simply paired with the wrong players or coached in the wrong manner by Minnesota Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau.
Skating alongside Justin Williams and the highly impressive youngster Sebastian Aho, suddenly he has found form.
