Ehlers (undisclosed) missed Friday's practice and is regarded as a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against Carolina, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers' absence would disrupt his hot streak -- the 28-year-old has provided two goals and six points in his past five appearances. He's up to 18 goals and 42 points in 58 outings overall. If Ehlers can't play Saturday, then Nino Niederreiter might assume a bigger role.

Ehlers had an assist in Monday's 4-1 road loss against the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers had the secondary helper on Vladislav Namestnikov's even-strength goal early in the first period to level the game at 1-1. Unfortunately for Winnipeg, that's all of the offense it would get on the night. Ehlers ended up with a minus-1 rating, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a hit in his 17:12 of ice time while splitting his six faceoff opportunities.

Ehlers scored the game-winning goal Saturday in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers deked Jakob Chychrun in the high slot and beat Joonas Korpisalo low blocker with a backhander. The winger has dealt with injuries over the last several seasons, but so far so good this year. With that consistent action, Ehlers has 16 goals and 34 points in 44 games, which puts him on pace to match his career highs (29 goals, 64 points). Remarkably, only three of his points have come on the power play even though he toils on the top unit. New highs could come easily if he can find his way to a bit more output with the extra man.
