Nikolaj Ehlers Reportedly Ready To Move On From Winnipeg
Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers looks set to move elsewhere for the 2024-25 campaign. Sources have told NHL insider David Pagnotta that Ehlers isn't interested in signing an extension with the Jets. He has one more season to go on a seven-year, $42 million pact. Ehlers' contract includes a 10-team no-trade list. The 28-year-old enjoyed his third 60-point campaign in 2023-24 with 25 goals and 36 assists in 82 outings. With 457 points (201 goals, 256 assists) earned in 605 career games, Ehlers has proven himself as a regular scorer in the league and should draw quite a bit of interest on the trade market.
Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers (undisclosed) will be in the lineup on Friday against Chicago. He was initially questionable for the game after missing Thursday's practice. Ehlers will take up a familiar spot on the second line next to Cole Perfetti and Sean Monahan. The 28-year-old will be hoping to reignite his campaign following a run of just four points in 13 games. Over the season, Ehlers has recorded 16 goals and 37 points in 54 games.
Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers (upper body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Saturday's meeting with the Flyers. He suffered an upper-body injury in Friday's practice, but Ehlers was on the ice Saturday morning, which is a sign that he's avoided serious injury and could be available for the game against Philadelphia. The 26-year-old has played a vital part in Winnipeg's success this season with 33 points (15 goals, 18 assists) and a plus-21 rating across 41 appearances. If Ehlers isn't ready to play, Nino Niederreiter might step into a top-six role.
Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers had his best outing of the season on Wednesday, tallying two goals and two assists in a 5-2 win over Los Angeles. The Kings jumped to a 2-0 lead with a strong first-period performance, but Winnipeg's first line, including Ehlers, caught fire after the first intermission and led the Jets to an impressive win. Ehlers has finally found his stride in recent outings and has a chance to step up in the absence of Kyle Connor (knee). In 28 games this season, the Danish winger has produced nine goals and 11 assists, totaling nine of the points in six December appearances.
Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers had a two-point outing in Monday's 2-1 win over Carolina. He collected an assist when Kyle Connor opened the scoring in the first period and produced the game-winning goal himself in the second frame. The Danish winger had more than one point in a game for only the third time this season. Ehlers has been a regular scorer throughout his career, but he hasn't been in form all year in 2023-24, providing only seven goals and seven assists in 24 games. His current scoring pace of 0.58 points per game is his lowest since Ehlers posted 0.53 points in his rookie year.
Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers (neck) was a full participant in Monday's practice and reportedly feels he's good to go for Wednesday's season opener. Ehlers missed the entire preseason while battling a neck injury, but the Jets will have him available when the regular season kicks off versus Calgary. The Danish winger skated with Cole Perfetti and Nino Niederreiter on Monday. He should be eager to make up for lost time after being limited to only 45 games in 2022-23. Despite missing nearly half a season, Ehlers was still the fifth-best scoring forward on the Jets roster, and he'll continue to be one of the team's main offensive threats in 2023-24.
Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers was wearing a non-contact jersey in Thursday's on-ice session with the club's veterans, although head coach Rick Bowness said he expects the winger to play in Monday's exhibition game versus the Calgary Flames. The veteran has been dealing with a sore neck during training camp and it appears the club is merely being cautious at this point in camp. The 27-year-old has dealt with injuries each of the last three seasons but has been productive when healthy, notching 12 goals and 38 points on 132 shots across 45 games a season ago. Bowness also said center Cole Perfetti (upper-body) is expected to play in the club's final two preseason contests along with Ehlers.
Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers sat out Friday's practice with neck spasms and isn't expected to work on the ice on Saturday either. It's a bit of a blow for the Danish winger, who was forced to sit out almost half a season with health issues last term, but the good news is that head coach Rick Bowness doesn't expect this to be a lingering issue. Ehlers managed to skate in 45 games last season and hasn't hit over 71 outings since the 2017-18 campaign, so he's been quite injury-prone throughout his career. Hopefully, the neck issue clears up for him soon.
Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (upper body) could be back in the lineup for Thursday's elimination game against the Golden Knights. He joined the team for practice Wednesday and is officially regarded as a game-time call for the contest. Ehlers sat out the final regular-season game and hasn't yet appeared in the playoffs either. His addition would be huge for the team, with Mark Scheifele (upper body) getting knocked out of the lineup for Game 5. Ehlers worked with Vladislav Namestnikov and Nino Niederreiter in Wednesday's practice.
Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (upper body) will remain out for Monday's Game 4 against the Golden Knights. Ehlers has been unavailable for the team since getting hurt on April 11 in a game against Minnesota. Nino Niederreiter has seen regular top-six minutes in the series with Ehlers out. The Swiss winger has done a good job, averaging a point per game in the series, but the Jets obviously would like to have Ehlers available, with the 27-year-old among the team's most talented forwards.
Nikolaj Ehlers On Track To Play In Tuesday's Game 1
Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (upper body) was a full participant in Monday's practice and is set to play in Tuesday's Game 1 against the Golden Knights. Ehlers missed the final game of the season after suffering an upper-body injury on a bad hit by Minnesota's Ryan Hartman. Health issues ruined a large chunk of Ehlers' 2022-23 regular-season campaign, but he finished it strongly, going for seven points in his final six games. He posted 12 goals and 38 points in total across 45 games. The Danish winger is slated to skate with Vladislav Namestnikov and Blake Wheeler on the second line Tuesday.

Ehlers has sat out a large chunk of the season with health issues and it's possible that we've seen the last of him in the regular season. The Jets complete their schedule Thursday versus Colorado. If Ehlers can't play, he will finish the campaign with 12 goals and 38 points with 45 games played.

Ehlers opened the scoring in the first period with his 12th goal of the season and he would later add a power play goal in the final frame to give the Jets their sixth goal of the contest.

In 22 outings for the season, he has recorded eight power-play points in total and sits on five goals and 17 assists.
Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers left Sunday's matchup against New Jersey with a suspected head injury. He exited in the third period after logging only 12:41 of ice time. The Jets are back in action again Monday versus the Rangers and Ehlers should be considered questionable for the game. Injuries have limited Ehlers to only 20 outings this season and he boasts just four goals, but the Danish winger has been averaging a point per game for the first time in his career. Saku Maenalanen was already on the first line Sunday and could benefit further from Ehlers' injury.
Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (abdomen) remains out for Tuesday's clash with the Flames, but he is expected to rejoin the lineup Friday versus Tampa Bay. Ehlers has missed all but two games this season and has been recovering from hernia surgery since late November. He is set to provide the team a huge boost once he's game-ready again. Ehlers was very close to his first 30-goal campaign last season and recorded 55 points across 62 appearances. He tallied three assists at the start of this season before getting sidelined. Fellow forward Cole Perfetti (upper body) is also on track to return Friday.
Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) is set to undergo hernia surgery and will be sidelined indefinitely. He has already missed a month of action after skating in only the first two games of the season. Ehlers enjoyed a hot start, posting three points. This is very unfortunate news for the player and the team, although the Jets are off to a really good start to the season and have managed to cope with the absence of Ehlers so far. With Mason Appleton (wrist) also having hit the shelf, Sam Gagner has moved to the top line and will hope to extend his point streak to three games Saturday versus Pittsburgh.
Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) will join the team for an upcoming three-game road trip, but he isn't expected to feature in any of the games. The talented Dane has already sat out four games after picking up a lower-body injury just a couple of matches into the season. Ehlers managed to tally three assists in two games before getting hurt. The Jets have done OK so far without Ehlers, with Cole Perfetti impressing with a four-game point streak and Mason Appleton working well on the top line with Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele.
Winnipeg Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers (undisclosed) has been placed on Injured Reserve, retroactive to Oct. 18. He has missed the last two games after opening the season in hot form by grabbing three points in two outings. According to Winnipeg's associate coach Scott Arnie, Ehler is carrying a nagging injury. The Danish sniper is a key piece for the Jets top six and he's definitely a big miss for the team. Mason Appleton has moved to the top line in his absence and he had two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Colorado before going scoreless Thursday versus Vegas. Dominic Toninato has filled the open roster spot on the team.
Nikolaj Ehlers Stretches Point Streak To Seven Games

The 26-year-old has been held pointless just three times since the start of last month as he tries to make up for lost time after suffering a knee injury in January. Ehlers is now on 49 points for the year in 54 games.
