Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel confirms Nino Niederreiter had surgery

We already knew that veteran Jets winger Nino Niederreiter was out week-to-week but yesterday we learned that he had surgery according to head coach Scott Arniel.

It was a lower-body surgery.

It’s been a disappointing season for the Swiss winger aside from playing for his country in the Olympics. In 55 games he has eight goals and 11 assists for 19 points.  He’s on pace for 28 points this season.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
