Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers: Nabs power-play helper
Rotowire
Ehlers recorded a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.
Ehlers was listed on the second line but saw just 13:52 of ice time in the contest. Linemates Cole Perfetti and Vladislav Namestnikov were also low on ice time, as the Jets got better performances from their third line in the season opener. Ehlers had 61 points last season, with just seven of them coming on the power play. If he can be more productive with the man advantage, he could be in line for a career year, though that may be tougher to do without reliable ice time even if he remains on the second line throughout the campaign.
