 * Note 
This looks like a mistake, but it isn't. It is because the infinitive ending ειν is actually a contraction itself of ε + ε becoming ει.
So we get a double contraction,
first stem νικά + ε + εν
becomes νικ + εν
becomes νικν
The same does happen with contractions, though it looks like there was just one normal contraction of έ + ειν becoming εῖν. For the simple reason that:
πονέ + ε + εν
first becomes πονεί, then + εν becomes πονεῖν
