Ehlers (lower body) still doesn't have a timeline for his return to the lineup despite skating on his own Tuesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers was on the ice Tuesday for the first time since sustaining a lower-body injury against Vegas on Nov. 29. However, he remains on injured reserve, and a clearer picture of his status will come into focus once he resumes skating with his teammates. Ehlers has nine goals, 25 points and 61 shots on net through 24 appearances this season. After Brad Lambert and Alex Iafallo got looks in Winnipeg's top six during Ehlers' absence, Nikita Chibrikov will occupy a spot on the second line in Tuesday's game versus Boston.

Head coach Scott Arniel said Sunday that he expects Ehlers (lower body) to resume skating with the team this week, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers sustained a lower-body injury in late November and hasn't played since then, but he appears to be progressing in his recovery. The Jets don't practice Monday, so his earliest chance to resume skating will be Tuesday, and a better idea of his status could come into focus based on whether he's donning a non-contact sweater. The 28-year-old racked up nine goals and 16 assists over 24 appearances this season prior to sustaining his injury.

Ehlers (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Winnipeg summoned Brad Lambert from AHL Manitoba in a corresponding move. Ehlers will miss his second straight game against St. Louis on Tuesday, and he won't be eligible to play in Thursday's matchup against Buffalo. According to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press, the 28-year-old forward could be ready to return in 7-10 days, but that is a tentative timeline. Ehlers has generated nine goals, 25 points and 61 shots on net across 24 outings this season.

Ehlers (lower body) won't play against Dallas on Sunday, according to Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
EDGE Analysis

Ehlers (lower body) did not finish Friday's game after exiting the contest in the second period, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers showed some frustration as he came off the ice during a Winnipeg power play. The winger had an assist prior to his exit, giving him 25 points through 24 contests this season. As such, if he misses time, it would be a big blow to a Jets offense that has yet to face a major injury to a key player. He can be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game in Dallas.

Ehlers recorded a power-play assist and went minus-3 in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers had mixed results from the second line in this contest. He has four assists over his last five games, but he's also gone minus-3 in that span, and his goal drought is up to eight outings. The winger is at nine tallies, 15 helpers, eight power-play points, 60 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 23 appearances this season.

Ehlers notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers set up Vladislav Namestnikov's goal in the second period, which ended being the game-winner. The 28-year-old Ehlers is in a five-game goal drought, but he's made up for it with five assists and 11 shots on net in that span. For the season, the winger has produced 23 points, 53 shots and a plus-10 rating through 20 contests while seeing steady second-line minutes in addition to a spot on the first power-play unit.

Ehlers picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
It's the fourth multi-point performance for Ehlers in nine November contests, and he's racked up five goals and 11 points so far this month. The 28-year-old winger has never produced more than 64 points in a season, and that came way back in 2016-17, but he's on pace to shatter that mark with 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists) through his first 19 appearances in 2024-25.

Ehlers picked up two assists in a 6-3 win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers has 20 points, including 11 assists, in 16 games this season, and he's on pace to obliterate his 64-point career high water mark, which was set in 2016-17. His 20.9 shooting percentage is too high -- his career mark is 11.9 percent, so there will be some regression in his sniping. But Ehlers remains an elite fantasy option right now, but you might want to weigh his value in trade if you don't think he can top triple digits in points. That's his current pace.

Ehlers scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Ehlers had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games, though he opened November with six points over two contests. The 28-year-old winger is up to nine tallies, 18 points (five on the power play), 42 shots on net and a plus-12 rating through 15 outings overall. The Jets are off to a record-breaking start at 14-1-0, and it's come with contributions throughout the lineup, including an excellent showing from Ehlers on the second line.
