When Mike Yeo left, it seemed Boudreau would finally let Nino Niederreiter free and give him the time on ice he deserved. And, to an extent, that has happened. Nino gained a full minute per game (on average) of ice time from 2014-15 to 2015-16.
Since that season, Nino’s ice time has dropped an average of 30 seconds per game for each of the past 2 seasons. This resulted in Nino nearing the 60-point mark in 2016-17. Last season Nino dipped in production, but was injured for 19 games of the season.
During all 3 of those seasons, Nino has led the team in shot attempt possession.
