This is only one game and a tiny sample size, but Nino did everything that could be expected of him in his first game, and against an extremely tough possession team to boot. He drove the play and got shots on goal, not to mention assisting on a powerplay goal.
I've written a lot about Niederreiter never getting a fair chance to play in the NHL with quality teammates and about the high hopes I have for him. If he can continue to put-up Corsi and Fenwick numbers of over 50% in Close situations and get shots on goal, then he's gonna have a fantastic season and that trade will look incredibly lopsided.
