Future

Niederreiter has dealt with a lot of adversity so far in the 2011-2012 season. In the beginning of the season he dealt with two separate injuries and has since returned to duty being played mostly on the fourth line. There is still no doubt that he has the skill level to be a top six forward for the Islanders in the next few years.
