Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers: Nearing a return to action

Ehlers (eye) could return to action as soon as Thursday against the Kings, Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

The Jets and fantasy owners alike will hope to get Ehlers back in their lineups as soon as possible, as the 20-year-old winger was red hot before sustaining an eye injury March 3, racking up 15 points in his last 18 games. The Jets should provide an update on the former first-round pick's status ahead Thursday's matchup with LA.
