Ehlers (upper body) won't return until early-to-mid February, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Ehlers was injured Friday when he collided with Penguins star Sidney Crosby, whose team saddled Winnipeg with a 4-0 loss. This is a tough pill for the Jets to swallow considering Ehlers averaged 0.675 points per game over 40 contests in the season's first half, and there's suddenly a spot open on the No. 2 power play as well. Mason Appleton and/or Nic Petan could see more playing time with Ehlers out of the picture, but with those players being centers, the Jets may have to summon a winger from AHL Manitoba.
