Niederreiter’s skate appeared to hit a rut in the ice late in the third period. He skated to the bench and did not return.
The 29-year-old has three goals in seven games this season.
Niederreiter has 160 goals and 167 assists in 664 career NHL games with Carolina, the Minnesota Wild and New York Islanders.
