Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers has been dealing with an injury recently which has fans worried about if he will be able to make the opening night roster. Today, Rick Bowness shared some insight into Ehlers' injury and when we can expect to see him back on the ice.
This update is promising because, despite the loss of the preseason, Ehlers should be good for opening night, if not the first few games of the season.
Ehlers has struggled with injuries in recent years. He has not played in a full 82-game season in every year since 2017-18. Despite this, he remains a solid offensive player, scoring a solid 38 points in 45 games last season. If he can stay healthy for the entire season, he could become pivotal in any Jets playoff run.
