Nikolaj Ehlers Registers Two Assists Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers had his first multi-point performance on his new team on Sunday, delivering two assists in a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. He assisted Sebastian Aho during a power-play situation in the first period and contributed to Logan Stankoven's game-winning goal midway through the third. Ehlers has struggled in his new surroundings this season, but his form has been improving lately. The Danish forward enters the new week of action with a four-game point streak. Overall, Ehlers has posted nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 15 contests.

Jets Want to Lock Up Nikolaj Ehlers Long-Term

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers is considered an integral part of the team, and general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff wants to sign him to a new long-term extension. "When we get a chance to talk to him, we'll put our best foot forward with him to try to make our case to be a unique Jet-for-life-type player and we'll see where it all goes there," Cheveldayoff said. Ehlers needs a new deal after completing a seven-year, $42 million contract. He has spent his entire career in Winnipeg, scoring 225 goals and 520 points in 674 regular-season outings. This season, Ehlers tied a career high with 39 assists and amassed 63 points across 69 contests. The 29-year-old is a proven scorer in the league, but he often battles health issues that negatively impact his fantasy value. Ehlers has missed at least nine games in four of the last five seasons.

Nikolaj Ehlers Finds The Net Twice As Jets Stave Off Elimination In Game 5

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers netted two goals in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Dallas Stars, helping the team to extend the second-round series to six games. Ehlers fired in a power-play goal early in the third period and had an empty-netter to cap things off. The Danish forward has been Winnipeg's leading man offensively in the series, recording five goals and six points. Ehlers averages a point per game through seven postseason contests; however, he has managed only one point in three games played away from home. Turning his performance around on the road would provide a nice boost for the team, as the Jets now need to secure a win on enemy territory on Saturday in Dallas to extend the series further.

Nikolaj Ehlers Scores Lone Jets Goal Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers scored the team's only goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Dallas Stars. The Danish forward led all skaters with five shots on goal and managed to get one puck past Jake Oettinger early in the second period, just 62 seconds in. After his postseason debut was delayed by injury, Ehlers has steadily begun to build momentum, averaging a point per game in the series against the Stars. However, he has had two scoreless outings in the matchup. Overall, Ehlers has notched three goals and five points in six postseason games, firing away 25 shots on goal. He remains a vital part of the Jets' offense, working on the second line and the first power-play unit.

Nikolaj Ehlers Tallies Three Points In Game 2 Victory

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers led the offense in Friday's 4-0 victory over the Dallas Stars, scoring twice and providing one power-play assist. He became the second Danish player in Stanley Cup Playoffs history to record three points in a playoff game, joining Lars Eller. Ehlers was buzzing all night, registering seven of the team's 24 shots on goal. After missing the start of the postseason, Ehlers has started to build momentum, posting two goals and two assists in four games. Winnipeg's attack has received a significant boost with his return, as Ehlers averages 4.25 shots per game.

Nikolaj Ehlers Expected To Return Friday

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (foot) is set to re-enter the lineup for Game 6 against the St. Louis Blues on Friday night. He has been out for seven games due to a foot injury. Ehlers' return comes at a great time for the Jets, who will be without Mark Scheifele (undisclosed) on Friday. He will take up a spot on the second line next to Cole Perfetti and Adam Lowry. The Danish forward has previously struggled to perform in the postseason, notching only 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in 37 career playoff appearances. However, Ehlers matched his career high with 39 assists and ended the regular season with 63 points in 69 games.

Nikolaj Ehlers To Miss At Least Two More Games

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (foot) will not travel with the team to face the St. Louis Blues in back-to-back road games. The two teams will meet in St. Louis on Thursday and Sunday, with the Jets holding a 2-0 lead in the first-round series. The team has coped well with the loss of Ehlers, but the Jets would definitely be stronger with him in the lineup. Due to Ehlers' absence, Nino Niederreiter has landed a second-line role for the start of the postseason. However, the Swiss veteran has been quiet so far, recording two shots on goal with one hit and zero points in two games.

Nikolaj Ehlers Considered Week-To-Week

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (foot) is considered week-to-week. The Danish forward aggravated a previous foot injury in Saturday's shootout win against the Chicago Blackhawks. He will sit out a second consecutive game on Wednesday, when Winnipeg concludes its regular season against the Anaheim Ducks, and it's unclear when Ehlers will be ready to help the Jets again. Ehlers notched 63 points (24 goals, 39 assists) in 69 games this season. Nino Niederreiter replaced him on the second line in Sunday's matchup against the Edmonton Oilers, while Gabriel Vilardi (upper body), who has been upgraded to day-to-day, could soon also be an option for the top six.

Nikolaj Ehlers Re-Aggravates Foot Injury

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (foot) was limited to 9:01 of action in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. The Danish forward had to be helped off the ice after backing into an official in the second period, re-aggravating a foot injury. Ehlers returned from the injury only a couple of games ago. He was out for two games and could now miss additional time. Winnipeg returns to action on Sunday, facing the Edmonton Oilers on home ice. David Gustafsson figures to rejoin the lineup if Ehlers can't play. At the same time, Jets head coach Scott Arniel would have to shake up his second line.

Nikolaj Ehlers To Be A Game-Time Decision Thursday

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (foot) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Dallas Stars. A foot injury has kept Ehlers sidelined for two games, and it remains uncertain whether he can rejoin the lineup on Thursday. The Danish forward has recorded 24 goals and 63 points in 67 games in 2024-25. David Gustafsson has re-entered the lineup in Ehlers' absence, though he provides significantly less fantasy value as a fourth-liner. The Jets have used Nino Niederreiter on the second line with Vladimir Namestnikov and Cole Perfetti, but the Swiss forward has not made an offensive impact.

Nikolaj Ehlers A Game-Time Decision Monday

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (foot) is a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the St. Louis Blues. He was unavailable on Saturday against the Utah Hockey Club due to a foot injury and may have to skip another contest. However, Ehlers was on the ice for the morning skate, which suggests that he is likely to play. The Danish forward has posted his fourth 60-point campaign in 2024-25, recording 24 goals and 39 assists in 67 games. If Ehlers is ready to return, the Jets will likely scratch David Gustafsson for Monday's contest.

Nikolaj Ehlers A Game-Time Decision Saturday

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against the Utah Hockey Club. He could not finish Thursday's contest against the Vegas Golden Knights due to a lower-body injury and missed Friday's practice. However, it appears that Ehlers is not seriously hurt and could be good to go on Saturday night. Ehlers sits third on Winnipeg's scoring charts with 63 points (24 goals, 39 assists) in 67 games. He capped off last month with his second six-game point streak of the season. David Gustafsson, who has managed six points (two goals, four assists) in 32 outings, will likely come into the lineup as Ehlers' replacement if he cannot play.

Nikolaj Ehlers Good To Go Against Stars

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (undisclosed) will be in the lineup on Friday against the Dallas Stars. He was initially doubtful for the contest after missing a couple of practices leading up to Friday. Ehlers plays a key role for Winnipeg and has amassed six points (three goals, three assists) over the past five games. He is the fourth-highest scorer on the squad with 57 points (21 goals, 36 assists) in as many games. On Friday, Ehlers is expected to skate in his usual spot on the second line and work with the first power-play unit. 21 of Ehlers' points this season have come with the man advantage.

Nikolaj Ehlers Does Not Practice On Thursday

Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers (undisclosed) was not present during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the Dallas Stars. The 29-year-old was also not available to practice on Wednesday, which puts his availability in doubt. Before this injury, Ehlers tallied six points (three goals) over his last five contests. Through 57 total contests this season, the former ninth-overall selection has found the back of the net 21 times and added 36 helpers. Ehlers has tallied 21 of his points on the power-play and added 31 hits, 25 blocks, and 148 shots on goal. If the 29-year-old were to be held out of action on Friday evening, fantasy managers should expect Nino Niederreiter to move up to the second forward line.

Nikolaj Ehlers Tallies Three Points On Friday

Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers tallied three points during their 6-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Friday evening. Ehlers tallied two points in the second frame. He tallied the primary assist on Josh Morrissey's power-play goal and then would find the back of the net himself, during 5-on-5 play. In the third period, Ehlers would tack on the secondary assist on Cole Perfetti's 13th goal of the campaign. This outing extended his point streak to three games. Over his previous nine contests, Ehlers has tallied nine points (five goals) with three of his points coming on the man advantage. During this stretch, he has averaged 3.1 shots on goal per game. Overall, the 29-year-old is on pace to smash his previous career-high as he has tallied 56 points in 55 games.

Nikolaj Ehlers A Game-Time Call Friday

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (illness) is a game-time decision for Friday's matchup against the Utah Hockey Club. He is dealing with an illness and may miss his 10th game of the season. Ehlers has missed quite a bit of action but remains on track for a career year. He averages a point per game through 40 contests, with 14 goals and 26 assists. Cole Perfetti joined the second line for the morning skate in Ehlers' absence. The 23-year-old will have added fantasy value if Ehlers is unable to play on Friday. However, Perfetti is currently experiencing a dismal offensive stretch, having recorded 13 scoreless outings over his last 14 appearances.

Nikolaj Ehlers Scores Twice On Saturday

Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers scored twice during their victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday evening. Ehlers would open the scoring in the first period with a wrist shot. Later in the third, Ehlers would tack on his second tally with the empty-netter to put the game out of reach. Ehlers also tallied three shots, three hits, and two blocks in this contest. Over his previous 11 contests, Ehlers has totaled 11 points (five goals, six helpers) while averaging just over two shots on goal per game. Overall, the 28-year-old has tallied 36 points over 35 games this season and is on track to post his second-straight 20-goal campaign. Fantasy managers should continue to start him in all formats as he continues this near-point-per-game production.

Nikolaj Ehlers Set To Return To Jets Lineup

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) is on track to return to the lineup on Wednesday versus Anaheim.

Ehlers last saw action on Nov. 29, missing nine games. The Danish forward has had an outstanding campaign with the Jets, scoring nine goals and 25 points in 24 appearances. Nikita Chibrikov will have to give up his top-six spot with Ehlers' return.

Nikolaj Ehlers Considered Day-To-Day Following Friday's Exit

Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) is considered day-to-day after he was injured in Friday's 4-3 loss to Vegas. The team plans to evaluate him further on Sunday. Ehlers notched an assist on Friday before being forced to exit the contest. He finished with 6:23 of ice time. The Danish forward has so far player in every game during a highly productive season, which has seen Ehlers record nine goals and 25 points in 24 games. Alex Iafallo received an uptick in minutes on Friday following Ehlers' exit and might have a larger role again in Sunday's meeting with Dallas.
