Niederreiter scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Niederreiter's second-period tally was a bit of a lucky shot to sneak through Igor Shesterkin -- and the only one of 44 Hurricanes shots to find twine. This ended a five-game point drought for Niederreiter, who has four goals and an assist through 10 playoff outings. The third-line winger has added 17 shots on net, 29 hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating. There's little reason to expect a significant uptick in his scoring without a corresponding move up the lineup.

The Swiss winger is up to 39 points, 130 shots, a plus-23 rating and 106 hits through 66 contests this season.

EDGE Analysis

After helping set up Jesper Fast for the game's opening goal late in the first period, Niederreiter notched his own tally early in the third to tie the game at 2-2, but it was all the offense Carolina could muster. The 29-year-old is up to 22 goals -- just three shy of his career high -- and 37 points through 63 games on the season.

Niederreiter scored twice Thursday in a 4-3 shootout loss to Dallas.

Niederreiter has served his one-match suspension and will be available versus the Lightning on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Niederreiter remains stuck in a five-game pointless streak during which he has registered just seven shots. With the addition of Max Domi (foot) at the deadline, the 29-year-old Niederreiter could find himself outside of the top-six, though a third-line role with Domi could be an option as well.

Niederreiter has been suspended for one game for slashing Washington's Axel Jonsson-Fjallby during Friday's loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Niederreiter will miss Sunday's game versus the Rangers, but it's safe to assume he'll be back in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old winger has picked up 17 goals and 31 points through 55 contests this season.

Niederreiter scored a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

He helped set up Jordan Staal midway through the second period for what proved to be the game-winner, then Niederreiter chipped in an insurance tally of his own early in the third. The 29-year-old has a modest three-game point streak going, and over the last 16 contests he's piled up a solid six goals and 11 points even without a consistent spot on the power play or a top-six placement.
