Niederreiter scored a goal Saturday, but the Predators fell to the Stars 5-1.
Scouting Report
The big winger from Switzerland was rushed to the NHL and has never lived up to his draft status (No. 5 overall in 2010), but he has grown into a solid mid-level forward with multiple 20-goal seasons on his docket. Consistency has never been his hallmark, but at his best he is a good skater who is more than willing to go to the high-traffic areas around the net. Staying healthy has also been a challenge for him.
Long Range Potential: Solid scoring winger.
