Minnesota Wild: 2018-19 Season Preview of Nino Niederreiter

Nino Neiderreiter is poised for a return to greatness in 2018-19. The Minnesota Wild forward is fully recovered from the high ankle sprain that bothered him through last season, and ready to re-establish his place on the top line. One year removed from a 57 point season, we should expect big things from him.

History

Neiderreiter is a former 1st round draft pick, 5th overall, of the New York Islanders in 2010. At the time he was the highest drafted Swiss born hockey player in history, but he has since been surpassed by 2017 first overall pick Nico Hischier.
