Niederreiter scored two goals, including an empty-netter, in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Utah.
Niederreiter found the back of the net in the second and third periods, giving him seven goals on the season. Each of these goals has come in Niederreiter's last nine appearances of the campaign, and he has shaken off a slow start to begin producing at a better rate over the previous few weeks. That said, Niederreiter has registered more than 30 points just once in his last four seasons, so fantasy managers shouldn't be waiting for a lot of production out of the 32-year-old.

Jets' Nino Niederreiter: Picks up two assists in win
Rotowire
Niederreiter logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.
It was a banner night for the Jets' third line, with Niederreiter playing provider on goals for linemates Adam Lowry and Mason Appleton in the first period.

Jets' Nino Niederreiter: Double snipe night
Rotowire
Niederreiter scored twice in a 5-2 win over Calgary in preseason action on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old veteran of 887 NHL games is coming off an 18-goal, 34-point season in 2023-24 and is vying for a top-nine role on the Jets. Niederreiter's game is slowing, but he still has a scorer's hands and can be dangerous on the second power-play unit. Put him on your watch list in deep formats - he may be a helpful waiver grab if injuries strike.

Jets' Nino Niederreiter: Making trip with team
Rotowire
Niederreiter (leg) will be with the Jets for their three-game road trip, John Lu of TSN reports Monday.
Niederreiter's presence on the trip doesn't guarantee that he will even skate according to head coach Rick Bowness, so his status for Tuesday's matchup with Nashville should be considered doubtful at best. Prior to getting hurt, the 31-year-old winger was mired in a 13-game point drought, so his return to the lineup may not significantly impact fantasy managers.

Jets' Nino Niederreiter: Contributes helper in win
Rotowire
Niederreiter logged an assist in Friday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Niederreiter has turned up the offense in March, posting four goals and one assist during a four-game point streak to open the month.

Niederreiter is up to 33 points, 144 shots on net, 87 hits, 32 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 62 outings. While the Jets added Tyler Toffoli at the trade deadline, Niederreiter's spot on the third line should be pretty secure -- Alex Iafallo and Mason Appleton are at a higher risk of dropping in the lineup.

It's Niederreiter's first multi-goal performance of 2024, with his last coming Dec. 30 against the Wild, and it was a rare flash of production from the 31-year-old winger -- he's made it onto the scoresheet only four times in the last 20 games.

Jets' Nino Niederreiter: Scores game-winner
Rotowire
Niederreiter scored his 13th goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.
Holding a 1-0 lead late in the first period, the Jets controlled the puck in Pittsburgh's end until Nate Schmidt directed a slap shot at the net that bounced off the boards right onto Niederreiter's stick. He used the puck luck to backhand the rebound past Tristan Jarry for what ended up being the game-winning goal. Niederreiter has been cold lately, as he mustered just one point in his previous 10 games, and Saturday's goal was his first since Dec. 30. He'll look to build off this effort Wednesday against the Sharks.
