Nino Niederreiter will have to undergo an arthroscopy due to persistent knee problems. The 33-year-old winger of the Winnipeg Jets will not be able to play in the regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL).

However, Niederreiter could be fit again for the home World Championships in Zurich if he recovers optimally - that is, if he receives clearance from the Winnipeg Jets. Niederreiter was already suffering from knee problems before the start of the Winter Olympics.
