Hurricanes' Nino Niederreiter: Procures fifth goal of year

Niederreiter scored a goal on three shots in a 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets on Monday.

Niederreiter got the Hurricanes on the board 6:19 into the second period, beating Columbus goalie Joonas Korpisalo to a loose puck in front for his fifth goal of the season. A three-time 20-goal scorer, Niederreiter slipped to just 11 in 67 games last season. He's been much more consistent early in 2020-21, having gone back-to-back games without a goal just once.
