Nikolaj Ehlers will have sports hernia surgery next week. No timeline for return. #NHLJets
Ehlers, 26, played October 17th when Winnipeg took on the Dallas Stars on what was their second game of the year. In those 2 games he picked up 3 assists.
Obviously, this is a huge loss for the Jets, however, head Coach Rick Bowness did say he expects Ehlers to be back at some point this season.
There won't be a timetable for his return until after the surgery that is to take place some time next week.
Hopefully the Jets find a way through the injury bug that has enveloped their team.
