Niederreiter logged an assist in Friday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Niederreiter has turned up the offense in March, posting four goals and one assist during a four-game point streak to open the month. The 31-year-old winger fed Adam Lowry for an insurance marker midway through the third period. Niederreiter is up to 33 points, 144 shots on net, 87 hits, 32 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 62 outings. While the Jets added Tyler Toffoli at the trade deadline, Niederreiter's spot on the third line should be pretty secure -- Alex Iafallo and Mason Appleton are at higher risk of dropping in the lineup.

Niederreiter scored two goals in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Both tallies came in the third period, but so did the rest of the Jets' offense as they erased a 3-0 deficit with a stunning road comeback. It's Niederreiter's first multi-goal performance of 2024, with his last coming Dec. 30 against the Wild, and it was a rare flash of production from the 31-year-old winger -- he's made it onto the scoresheet only four times in the last 20 games. On the season, Niederreiter's compiled 16 goals and 30 points in 59 contests.

Niederreiter picked up a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Niederreiter logged an assist on Mason Appleton's first-period goal before tallying an empty-netter in the third to seal Winnipeg's 6-3 win. The 31-year-old Niederreiter came into the contest with just one goal and two points in his previous 14 games while slipping into a bottom-six role. He now has 14 goals and 28 points through 54 games this season.

Niederreiter scored his 13th goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Holding a 1-0 lead late in the first period, the Jets controlled the puck in Pittsburgh's end until Nate Schmidt directed a slap shot at the net that bounced off the boards right onto Niederreiter's stick. He used the puck luck to backhand the rebound past Tristan Jarry for what ended up being the game-winning goal. Niederreiter has been cold lately, as he mustered just one point in his previous 10 games, and Saturday's goal was his first since Dec. 30. He'll look to build off this effort Wednesday against the Sharks.

Niederreiter posted an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Niederreiter has helpers in consecutive games following a three-game slump. The winger set up Adam Lowry's goal in the final minute of regulation. Niederreiter remains officially on the third line with Lowry and Mason Appleton, but that trio often sees top-six minutes on the ice. Niederreiter is up to 24 points, 96 shots on net, 52 hits and a plus-14 rating through 39 contests overall.

Niederreiter produced a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Niederreiter helped out on Cole Perfetti's insurance marker in the third period. While he's yet to get on the scoresheet in more than two games in a row, Niederreiter has been a solid middle-six contributor for the Jets this season. He's at 12 goals, 11 assists, 94 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-12 rating through 38 contests.

Niederreiter scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second two-goal performance in the last three contests for Niederreiter, on the heels of a 12-game stretch in which the veteran winger managed only two goals and three points in total. His middle-six role and spot on the Jets' second power-play unit gives him some deep-league fantasy appeal, and through 34 outings he's posted 12 goals and 22 points, a pace which has him headed for his first 50-point campaign since 2018-19.

Niederreiter scored two power-play goals and added an even-strength assist in Friday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
It's the 31-year-old winger's first multi-goal performance since he potted a hat trick against the Coyotes on Nov. 4, a night which also accounted for his only other power-play tally of the season. Niederreiter is on pace to reach the 25-goal plateau for the second time in his career and deliver at least 50 points for the third time, but his third-line role for the Jets and inconsistent shifts on the man advantage make that level his ceiling.

Niederreiter scored a goal and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Niederreiter has a goal and an assist over his last two games after going five contests without a point. He tallied just 43 seconds after Adam Henrique put the Ducks ahead 2-0 early in the third period. Niederreiter is up to seven goals and 16 points through 26 outings, mainly in a third-line role, but with Kyle Connor (lower body) leaving Sunday's game early, a spot on the top line could be open in the short term. Niederreiter, Cole Perfetti and Alex Iafallo seem like the likeliest options for a move to play alongside Mark Scheifele if necessary.

Niederreiter signed a three-year, $12 million contract extension with Winnipeg on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Niederreiter would have been eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer following the completion of his two-year, $8 million deal. The 31-year-old has produced six goals, 14 points, 61 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 27 hits in 23 games this season. This new contract assures the winger will be a middle-six fixture in Winnipeg for years to come.
