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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
