Nino's struggles are simple, now he just needs to fix them

Nino Niederreiter got his first 5v5 point in 11 games on Tuesday night. It's not terribly hard to see he was having issues, causing some to guess that Nino was nursing an injury of some kind.

While Nino's defensive numbers have been as strong as ever, posting a very consistent 6-8 shot attempts against per game at 5v5, it's his offensive numbers that have been cause for concern. Beside not scoring a goal in over a month, for a very-low Sh% of 0, Nino hadn't put up an assist since November 19.

At first glance, Nino's offensive numbers (aside from points) appear to be consistent as well, with anywhere between 6-10 shot attempts per game.
