Ehlers scored a goal on five shots and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
Ehlers stretched the Jets' lead to 3-1 in the second period, and then set up Tyler Toffoli's tally in the third, which was the game-winner. This was Ehlers' third multi-point effort over the last six contests. The veteran winger has 25 goals, 61 points, 231 shots on net and a plus-27 rating through 81 outings overall. He's a little shy of his career high of 64 points from 2016-17, but it's not out of reach if he has a huge game Thursday versus the Canucks.

Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers: Nets game-winner
Rotowire
Ehlers scored the game-winning goal Saturday in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Senators.
Ehlers deked Jakob Chychrun in the high slot and beat Joonas Korpisalo low blocker with a backhander. The winger has dealt with injuries over the last several seasons, but so far so good this year. With that consistent action, Ehlers has 16 goals and 34 points in 44 games, which puts him on pace to reach his career highs (29 goals, 64 points). Remarkably, only three of his points have come on the power play even though he toils on the top unit. New highs could come easily if he can find his way to a bit more output with the extra man.
