Jets Star Ehlers Out Week-to-Week; Vilardi Nears Return as Playoff Push Intensifies
  • Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers has had an impressive 2024-2025 season, recording 63 points, including 24 goals and 39 assists, in 69 games, marking his 10th season with the team.

  • Selected ninth overall in the 2014 NHL Draft, Ehlers has accumulated a total of 520 career points, consisting of 225 goals and 295 assists, over 674 games played.

  • Unfortunately, Ehlers is currently week-to-week with a right foot injury sustained from a collision with an official during a game on April 13, 2025.

  • This injury has compounded an earlier lower-body issue that Ehlers had aggravated earlier in the season, as noted by head coach Scott Arniel.

  • In better news for the Jets, teammate Gabriel Vilardi has been upgraded to day-to-day in his recovery from an undisclosed injury, having skated on his own after being sidelined since March 23.

  • Vilardi has also had a strong season, contributing 61 points, with 27 goals and 34 assists, in 71 games.

  • Meanwhile, defenseman Dylan Samberg is in good shape after an apparent injury from blocking a shot in a recent game against the Edmonton Oilers, as he participated in practice on April 15.

  • Looking ahead, the Jets plan to field their regular players in their regular-season finale against the Anaheim Ducks on April 16, 2025, as they aim to set a franchise record with 115 points this season.
