Nikolaj Ehlers Produces an Empty-Netter as Hurricanes Clinch Cup

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers was among the goal scorers as the team secured the 2026 Stanley Cup with a 3-0 Game 6 win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday. Ehlers had the honor of scoring the last goal of the Finals, sending the puck into the empty net with 68 seconds remaining in the third period. The Danish veteran played a huge role in the Finals, justifying Carolina's decision to pick up Ehlers as a free agent on a six-year, $51 million deal last offseason. He recorded four goals and five assists against Vegas. Overall, Ehlers managed 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) in 18 playoff games. During the regular season, Ehlers was Carolina's second-highest scorer with 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) in 82 games.

Nikolaj Ehlers Joins Special List With Another Three-Point Effort

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers recorded a hat trick of assists as the team grabbed a 3-2 series lead in the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday with a 4-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. He became only the 12th player in NHL history to register back-to-back three-point games in the Finals. It was an eventful evening for Ehlers, who also received four penalty minutes for a pair of delay-of-game penalties. Throughout the Finals, Ehlers has been a driving force for the Hurricanes, posting three goals and five assists in five contests. He has averaged a point per game in the playoffs, contributing seven goals and 10 assists in 17 outings.

Nikolaj Ehlers Registers Three Points in Game 4 Win

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers finished Tuesday's 5-3 Game 4 win over the Vegas Golden Knights with three points, scoring once and dishing out two assists. After setting up Jackson Blake and Jordan Staal for goals, Ehlers scored an empty-netter to seal the win. The Danish veteran returned to the score sheet after finishing the previous two games pointless. However, thanks to his two-goal effort in Game 1, Ehlers is still averaging over a point per game in the Finals. He has tallied five points (three goals, two assists) in four contests. Ehlers has made a mark in the playoffs as a scorer and playmaker, recording seven goals and seven assists in 16 appearances.

Nikolaj Ehlers Nets Two Goals in Game 1 Loss to Golden Knights

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers made a terrific start to the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals against the Vegas Golden Knights, scoring two goals in a 5-4 loss on Tuesday night. With just 25 seconds played, Ehlers scored the third-fastest goal to open the Stanley Cup Finals, and he put Carolina two goals up at the 12:08 mark in the first period. Ehlers became the first player in 37 years to score two first-period goals in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. He lit the lamp with both of his attempts on net, giving him three multi-point performances in five games. Sebastian Aho's line remained quiet in Game 1 against Vegas, putting additional responsibility on players like Ehlers. The Danish veteran ranks second on his team with six goals and has amassed 11 points in 13 postseason games.

Nikolaj Ehlers Tallies Two Goals as Hurricanes Bounce Back Saturday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers scored two big goals in Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Montreal Canadiens. He gave Carolina a 2-1 lead late in the third period and secured a series-tying victory with 3:29 played in overtime. The Danish forward recorded only his second multi-point game of the postseason. Ehlers has been limited to two goals and four assists in nine playoff outings. His form has dropped off significantly after he tallied a career-high 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) in 82 regular-season games. However, there are reasons to be optimistic for the Hurricanes, as Ehlers has collected five of his six points in the last five games.

Nikolaj Ehlers Collects Two Points in Comeback Win

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers had a big role in Monday's 3-2 comeback win against the Philadelphia Flyers, finishing with a goal and an assist. With Carolina 2-0 down on home ice in Game 2 of the second-round series, Ehlers scored a power-play goal and assisted Seth Jarvis on the game-tying goal during even-strength play. Then Taylor Hall completed the comeback in overtime. This was Ehlers' fifth multi-point game in 50 career playoff outings. Postseason hockey hasn't suited him well, and his numbers aren't looking great this year either. In five appearances, Ehlers has recorded one goal and two assists. Game 3 presents Ehlers with a chance to score multiple points in consecutive playoff games for the first time in his 11-year NHL career.

Nikolaj Ehlers Expected to Play Saturday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) is expected to play in Game 1 against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. A week ago, Ehlers was unavailable for Carolina's series-clinching victory over Ottawa due to a lower-body injury. In three games against the Senators, he recorded one assist and seven SOG. On Saturday night, Ehlers is expected to skate on the third line with Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook. He should also reclaim his spot on the first power-play unit. The Danish veteran tallied 29 of his 71 points during the regular season with the man advantage.

Hurricanes Hope to Have Nikolaj Ehlers Back for Second Round

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) didn't practice on Tuesday, but head coach Rod Brind'Amour hopes to have him available for the start of the second round in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Carolina was without the services of Ehlers last weekend as it closed out the first-round series against Ottawa. The Danish forward missed Game 4 due to a lower-body injury after contributing one assist in the first three games of the series. In Ehlers' absence, William Carrier moved up the lineup, and Nicolas Deslauriers made his 2026 postseason debut. If Ehlers remains unavailable for the Round 2 opener, the two could benefit again.

Nikolaj Ehlers Dealing With Lower-Body Injury

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) was a late scratch for Saturday's Game 4 against the Ottawa Senators. Ehlers averaged over 20 minutes of ice time in the first three games of the series and didn't appear to be limited in any way, but a lower-body injury knocked him out of the lineup. The Danish forward has tallied one assist in the lower-scoring matchup. With Ehlers unavailable, Nicolas Deslauriers jumped into action. Carolina has a chance to end the series on Saturday, which would give Ehlers a lot of recovery time before the next game.

Nikolaj Ehlers Collects Three Points in Saturday's Win

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers bagged a season-high three points in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Nashville Predators. He netted a power-play marker in the opening frame and set up Jackson Blake for a pair of goals. After becoming a regular 60-point scorer in Winnipeg, Ehlers has not quite hit the same heights with his new club. In 27 games, he has posted six goals and 19 points. The Danish forward must improve his scoring pace to record a third consecutive 60-point campaign. Ehlers and the Hurricanes will return to action on Sunday against the San Jose Sharks, who allow 3.35 goals per game.

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.
